| 1. Combine tomato products in large stock pot or dutch oven. | 2. Add a 28 ounce can of water and stir. | 3. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. | 4. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese and stir to combine. | 5. In a frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil and fry up your sausage or meatballs until cooked through. | 6. Add the meat to the simmering sauce, along with any optional meats (recommended) mentioned in ingredients. | 7. Now, this is an important, not to be left out, step: Add chopped onions and garlic to pan that meat was fried in. | 8. Do not drain anything before adding onions and garlic-- there should be some drippings/oil left in the pan! | 9. Fry onions and garlic until tender and aromatic. | 10. Remove pan from heat. | 11. Another important step, not to be left out: Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan and swish around, combining the leftover drippings and onion and garlic. | 12. Pour and scrape it all into the simmering sauce. | 13. Stir to combine. | 14. Let simmer for 3 hours or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally. | 15. I keep mine only half way covered, so it cooks down and gets thick and rich. | 16. Remove pepperoni, chicken and ribs if used. | 17. Remove meat from bones of chicken and ribs and add back to sauce in small shreds. | 18. Discard pepperoni, eat it, or chop it up and add it back to sauce. | 19. Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
