| 1. Empty the tomatoes into a large saucepan and turn the heat to medium. | 2. In the meantime, heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. | 3. When hot, add the ground beef and stir it around until brown. | 4. You do not need to add oil as the fat from the beef will suffice. | 5. When the meat is cooked, remove with a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip back into the skillet, and transfer the meat to the saucepan of tomatoes and stir. | 6. Add the onions and garlic to the fat in the skillet and cook until the onion is tender. | 7. Remove with a slotted spoon, again, allowing the excess oil to drip back into the skillet and stir into the tomatoes. | 8. Stir in the salt, sugar and basil. | 9. Bring sauce to a boil, cover, then turn down the heat to simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. | 10. Turn off the heat and let the pot sit on the stove until you are ready to use it. | 11. If you are planning to use it the next day, refrigerate when cooled. | 12. Reheat as necessary or freeze for future use. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
