Basic Sauce:
4lb ground beef (or chicken or turkey)
4 onions, chopped
2-4 ribs celery, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cans (28oz each) diced tomatoes
2 cans (6oz each) tomato paste
sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Brown the ground beef with onions, celery and garlic. Drain well. Add in remaining ingredients. Feel free to add spices to your taste. Divide mixture into five containers (approximately 2 cups each). The first dinner, I usually add some cumin and chili powder for tacos. The second dinner: spaghetti. The third: lasagna. The fourth, add salsa and beans for a quick chili. The fifth, add chili powder for sloppy joes. My favorite is add chili powder or bbq sauce and corn. Spread over pizza crust and top with cheese for a sloppy joe pizza.
