The five pound of ground beef make this a *very meaty dish. You'd not
reduce the GB?

Appreciate the good advice.

Heck we just use the garlic Ragu and add some oregano and mushrooms. Who
has the time to make the sauce from scratch?

Those who respect traditional values and quality.

Would they use canned tomato sauce and ... good god! ... tomato paste?

What no sausage?

For every pound of ground beef, I'd ad two *hot* Italian sausage.

You may be right but you are dealing with pork. I think it is best to
precook it, if not just a little. It will still give off enough flavor to
the sauce.

We have never had a problem with overcooked or dried out sausage doing it
our way. ;-)

Nope, I like meaty spaghetti sauce. I brown the ground beef, but don't add it
back to the sauce until the sauce has cooked for an hour or more. I then re-add
the ground beef. If I had too much, I'd just save the rest in the freezer. I use
the ground beef as a 'thickener'. Once it's been re-added, I only cook for
another 15 mins or so.

I like the ground beef, in spaghetti sauce, to be 'lumpy', not all liquified,
which cooking for an hour tends to do.

Adding a good Italian sausage seems like a great idea. Just never tried
it. How would you modify the recipe for the addition?

We leave the whine to Krause. You know, a red might just add to this
meal.

My sauce usually cooks for at least a couple hours. I like the smell of garlic!
