Ingredients
- 6-12 heads garlic, peeled and smashed: make it a lot.
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- butter and olive oil (equal parts) to fry them in. Don't be shy.
- 2 lbs lean hamburger, cubed
- 1 lb sage sausage, cubed
- 2-3 TBSP dried oregano
- 1/2 - 1 tsp ground clove
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground black pepper, maybe more.
- 1 TBSP dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp powdered cumin
- 2 tsp (or 2 TBSP) Tabasco chipotle sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 2 cans cooked and diced tomatoes.
- 1 jar, bottle or can, prepared tomato sauce, any flavor
Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid; add to meat and stir well while frying. When they're hot and spicy, add tomato sauce and reserved tomato juice. Bring to a boil, stirring. Adjust spices, which mostly means add more of this or that. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve over hot pasta. Enjoy! Don't count calories!
Review: This is not wimpy diet food. Ya gotta eat this meal with a fair bit of gusto! And it's so rich and flavorful that gusto is not hard to come by. Some garlic bread, Caesar salad, and a bold hand-made brew(Alaskan Amber is an excellent choice!) make a good meal for a bunch of good friends.
