Instructions
  1. 1
    Sauté

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, chopped carrot and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they’re softened.

  2. 2
    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3
    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the beef broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4
    Season

    Sprinkle in the garlic salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together.

  5. 5
    Simmer

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

  6. 6
    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you want more flavor, you can add more garlic salt, Italian seasoning, or a dash of salt and pepper.

    Tips
    • Feel free to add a splash of red wine for extra depth of flavor while the sauce simmers.
    • You can also add in chopped white onion. I didn't because my kids hate onions lol.
    • You can also add parmesan to the sauce while it's cooking for a creamier sauce.
    • This sauce freezes well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later!
