Italian Meat Sauce


1/2 lb. Italian Sausage 
1 medium onion chopped, or 2 TBSP dried, minced onion, or 1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder, or 3 cloves, minced, or 1 TBSP minced
1 15oz. can tomato sauce
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
2 TBSP oregano
2 tsp basil
1 tsp Marjoram
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp crushed Rosemary
1 tsp salt

*If using Italian sausage, peel casing from sausage before cooking*, then cook in medium sauce pan until browned. Chop with spoon while cooking so it forms small bite sized chunks.

**I cook sausage in about 2 cups of water and mush it by hand in the water before cooking so it breaks up into fine pieces instead of chunks. then drain when done to remove a large portion of the fat**

Remove meat, set aside in bowl lined with paper towels to drain. Pour out fat from pan.

Add all ingredients in together and simmer, covered, over med-low [ #2 or #3 on my dial] heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
