Thick N' Hearty Spaghetti Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 (4 ounce) cans mushroom pieces (or fresh ones to taste, if you prefer)
garlic
parsley (dried or fresh)
dried oregano
dried sage
basil
pepper
sugar (if desired to cut acidity)

Preparation

In a large pot (I use cast iron), quickly and thoroughly brown the ground beef.
Drain and add mushrooms, followed by garlic (I use at least a tablespoon in this step), parsley (a lot), oregano, sage, and basil.
Add tomatoes, sauce, and paste; stir together.
Cook on med-high for 5-10 minutes, then reduce heat to med-low.
Allow to simmer covered about one hour, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic, pepper, basil, oregano, sage, and parsley to taste (also sugar).
Cook covered on med-low for 2 hours.
Add more seasoning to taste.
Cook covered on med-low for another 30 minutes-1 hour.
At this point, the sauce should be thick, cooked down about halfway.
Serve with your favorite pasta or on slices of bread with parmesan or cheddar.
