This is a special sauce a friend made that has a wonderful flavor.

1 pound ground beef
1 pound HOT Italian sausage
1 (#10) can crushed tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 (3 pound) bottle Prego Spaghetti Sauce

Brown beef and sausage together; drain well.

In another skillet brown onion and garlic together; drain well.

Put meat, onions and garlic into a large pot. Add tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer at least 1/2 hour in a covered pot. It is best if you can simmer about 2-3 hours or even longer. Stir often so it does not burn.

NOTE: I add some sugar to take out the strong tomato bite.
