Ingredients

12 lb lean ground beef
12 lb hot Italian sausage, casing removed
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
36 ounces tomato sauce (this is a 28 oz can and an 8 oz can) or 36 ounces crushed tomatoes (this is a 28 oz can and an 8 oz can)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1

Put the bacon and onion into a large pot over medium heat.
2

When the onion starts to go translucent, add the garlic and cook until the garlic is tender.
3

Add the ground beef and sausage, and continue cooking until browned, stirring to break up the meat, than drain off all the excess fat.
4

Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and seasoning (you can adjust the spices to your taste), and cook until everything is heated through.
5

The sauce is great for eating at this point, but the longer you let it simmer, the more the flavours will meld and and intensify.
6

Serve over the pasta of your choice.
