5 cans tuttorossa crushed tomatos with basil
1 can tuttorossa tomato sauce
3 lbs ground beef
10 italian sausage
5 pieces of smoked pork neck bones
i clove of garlic
1 medium sized onion
italian seasoning
salt
pepper
1 jar of roasted peppers (for the lazy)
3 pieces of pepperidge farm cinnamon swirl bread
empty all the cans in a big sauce pot. Add 1 can of water. Low to medium heat. Cover the top with italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste (go lite, you can always add more). No more than a thin layer, but so you can barely see any sauce. Slice garlic and dice onions and put them in a stainless steel frying pan over medium to high heat, moving frequently. NO OIL!!!! Just dry. Cook until brown. Drip cold water in the pan and scrape the bottom and get all that brown gook together and throw it in the pot. Mix ground beef, salt and pepper to taste with 2 eggs. Take the 3 pieces of bread and make it into a meatball, running cold water over it. Squeeze all the water out the best you can and throw that glop onto the ground beef. Mix it all up and roll meatballs and place on an oven pan. On a separate pan, place the sausage (stab the sausage like an axe murder, use a fork) and put both in the oven at about 350/375 or so. When rolling the meatballs, use oil on your hands to give the meatballs a nice skin. After about an hour and you've flipped the meats, place all the meat in the sauce including the smoked bones and the peppers. You're about an hour into the sauce now, cook an additional 2 hours and you'll be good. I think I covered everything. Let me know how it turns out! Oh yea, thats 2 hours you have to play your les paul while its cooking!

Nice!

people don't realize how important the marinara sauce is,
the same with real pizza sauce, it can make or
break a pizza also

if anyone is seriously going to try this, hit me up on an inbox a day or 2 before and I'll give you my landline in case you get stuck on something. I promise, if executed properly, you will have your dinner guests licking sauce off their elbows. Its THAT redonkulous. Its also enough to have a nice pasta course and then turn the rest into a lasagna, but the lasagna is for another thread…………….

Sounds awesome. You know what might be a nice touch? Deglaze those onions and garlic with some red wine or sherry instead of water. That'll really help pull off that caramelization off the pan and add a hint of flavour.

Cheers,

Some interesting points, Joey. Although, fresh herbs and spices instead of the dried stuff would really set this thing off. Also, a little bit if sugar is great in the sauce.

I'll have to try that brand of tomato sauce next time I look.

Should tag it NSFW because that's food porn.

What size pot is needed to fit all that? :shock:

I bet. Perhaps a trip to corrados is in order for the fresh stuff next time. I used to add sugar, before the tuttorossa tomatoes. It just doesn't need it. It's not acidic at all.

You'll need a proper sauce pot. Most pots that come in a pot and pan set won't cut it. You'll only need to buy one and it will serve you for years worth of good eating. Mine is my best friend.
