Katie'S Spaghetti Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs extra lean ground beef
4 bell peppers, chopped
2 large onions, chopped
1 lb mushroom (any on hand)
6 tablespoons italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
10 -12 garlic cloves, chopped
1 -2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup any 'drinkable' red wine (our fave is Chianti by Ruffino)
4 (12 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 -4 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

In a large kettle, brown beef with veggies. Add the tomato paste.and continue browning.
Add the rest of the ingredients and top off with approx 8 cups of water.
Simmer for 4 to 6 hours. Never put the lid on tight -- it will make your sauce watery!
Stir frequently.have plenty of crusty Italian bread on hand for dipping (taste testing)!
