Bolognese Sauce - Bulk Freezer Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs sweet Italian sausage
2 lbs ground chuck
2 large white onions
12 garlic cloves
12 cups crushed tomatoes
12 cups diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Combine and brown sausage and ground beef in large dutch oven, or other heavy-bottomed pan. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in same dutch oven over medium high heat, and add red pepper flakes, chopped onion and garlic. Cover and cook until onions are translucent.
Add tomatoes, seasonings, browned meats and remainder of olive oil and mix well.
Bring to low boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, stirring often.
You can choose to omit the red pepper, but my family prefers the extra kick! The granulated garlic can also be omitted if you don't care for a strong garlic flavor. I use the 102 oz. food service-sized cans of crushed and diced tomatoes (each can contains 24 half-cup servings). You can buy these at warehouse stores like Sam's Club, BJ's or Costco.
