Spaghetti Meat Sauce

By North Star


1/2 c. olive oil
4 1/2 c. chopped onion
12 cloves garlic, minced
6 lb. ground beef
1 (6 lb. 6 oz.) can tomatoes
1 (6 lb. 10 oz.) can tomato sauce
1/3 c. parsley
2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. oregano
2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. basil
scant 1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt

In large heavy pot, saute onions, garlic and ground beef until vegetables
are tender and beef is browned, removing grease as it accumulates.
Mix in all other ingredients, breaking up the tomatoes somewhat.
Bring just to a boil and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
This recipe makes about 8 quarts, or enough for 40 servings.
