Beef and pork spaghetti sauce recipe
Last Updated on
As the weather starts to cool down, we start to crave heartier, comfort foods. This beef and pork spaghetti sauce recipe is the perfect way to warm up on a cold night.
The sauce is packed with flavor from the beef and pork, as well as garlic, onions, and tomatoes. It’s perfect for spooning over a plate of pasta, or you can use it as a dipping sauce for breadsticks or garlic bread.
If you want to bulk up the sauce, you can add in some chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Or, if you’re looking for a lower-carb option, you can leave out the pasta and serve the sauce over cauliflower rice.
This sauce can also be frozen for up to three months, so make a big batch and enjoy it all winter long!
