Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Boneless beef chuck roast | 3 lbs |
| Boneless pork roast | 3 lbs |
| Olive oil | 1 cup |
| Onions | 3, chopped |
| Garlic | 3 cloves |
| Tomato sauce | 4 cups |
| Diced tomatoes | 3 cans (14.5 oz each) |

| Fresh parsley | 3/4 cup, chopped |
| Oregano | 2 tbsp |
| Dried basil | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | To taste |

Instructions:
- Begin by heating a large soup kettle over medium heat, then add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot.
- Once the oil is hot, add the boneless beef chuck roast and boneless pork roast to the pot, allowing them to brown evenly on all sides for a rich, caramelized flavor.
- As the meats brown, finely chop the onions and garlic cloves, then add them to the pot, stirring occasionally until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Now, it’s time to infuse the sauce with layers of robust flavor! Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
- Sprinkle in the fresh parsley, oregano, and dried basil, allowing their aromatic essence to permeate the sauce and enhance its savory profile.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference for a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, allowing the sauce to simmer gently, uncovered, for the next three hours.
- Throughout the simmering process, stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to ensure that all the flavors meld together harmoniously.
- After three hours of simmering, your Meat Market Spaghetti Sauce is ready to elevate your favorite pasta dishes, lasagna creations, or any other culinary masterpiece your heart desires!
- Ladle the sauce generously over cooked pasta, layer it between lasagna noodles for a decadent lasagna bake, or use it as a flavorful base for hearty chili.
- Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this homemade Italian sauce, and don’t forget to store any leftovers in the freezer for convenient meal prep or future culinary adventures.
