Recipe Introduction
Posted by: AlabamaNeeNee******From Quick Cooking
"I prepare this beef mixture on weekends when I have a little more time," relates Debbie Hodge of Kitscoty, Alberta. "Having it in the freezer is a real time-saver during the week and a great way to serve unexpected guests." She uses the versatile sauce to get a head start on casseroles, stews and several swift suppers she shares here.
List of Ingredients
4 pounds ground beef
4 medium onions, chopped
5 celery ribs, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
2 jars (4-1/2 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained, optional
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakesRecipe
In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook beef, onions, celery and garlic until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Cool. Transfer to freezer bags or containers, about 2 cups in each. May be frozen for up to 3 months. Yield: about 15 cups total.
