Luke’s Spaghetti Sauce

Over medium heat, brown ground beef and sausage, along with onion and garlic in a Dutch oven. Crumble the meat as you go. Once the meat is browned, drain fat from the Dutch oven. Add all of the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the baking soda and simmer for an hour or a little more to let flavors blend. You can add some water if you like a thinner sauce.

Before serving, add the baking soda and mix well into the sauce; it should bubble a little. This helps neutralize the acid of the tomato and makes for a sweeter sauce. Serve over pasta or use for lasagna.
