| 1. In a lg. pot saute onions with basil and Italian seasoning, then add hamburger. Cook until meat is no longer pink in the middle. When done, drain all the grease. Set aside. | 2. Cook sausage links separately, and after cooked, cut up into bite size pieces. Set aside. When cool, refrigerate until about 1/2 hour before sauce is done, then add to sauce. (This helps the sauce from becoming greasy). | 3. Add tomato puree, tomato paste, mushrooms, hot sauce and peppers to meat mixture. Mix well. | 4. Add the Red wine, if using. | 5. Add salt to taste, starting with 1 T. | 6. Cook on med. heat until sauce comes to a boil, then cook 4-6 hours covered, on low heat so it will slightly bubble while cooking, or until desired thickness. | 7. Stir every once in awhile, so the sauce and meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. | 8. A 1/2 hour before serving add sausage from the fridge, and heat until sausage are nice and hot, and sauce is bubbling. | 9. Serve with your favorite pasta. | 10. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired, and enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
