Spaghetti Sauce

This is not a canning recipe however, I make it with my canned tomatoes.

1 1/2 lbs. Italian Sausage (can use Ground Beef but doesn't taste as good)
Onion, chopped
Green Pepper, chopped
Garlic Clove crushed

Brown together and drain.

Add:

3-16oz cans Tomatoes (I use 2 Quarts canned Tomatoes and I puree the tomatoes)
1-3 cans Tomato paste (depending on how thick you like)
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Basil
1/2 tsp. Thyme
2 Bay Leaves
1-2 Cups Water

Stir together and simmer for 1-2 hours.

I always have extra sauce that I freeze for a later meal.
