Spaghetti Sauce

½ lb. mild Italian sausage
½ lb. ground hamburger
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. fennel seeds
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. parsley
2 1-lb Italian style canned tomatoes (or 1 qt. home canned)
1 8-oz can tomato paste
1/2 cup white cooking wine
Brown sugar or honey (to taste – approximately 2 Tbsp.)

Brown meat with onion and garlic.  Add seasonings and mix well.  Add tomatoes, paste, and wine.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer (or move to crock-pot) covered until thick for about 2 hours (or 6 – 8 in crock-pot).  Add sugar, to taste, right before serving.

Also makes a great lasagna!
