Mom's Spaghetti Sauce

Today me and E went to the grocery store without dad (never a good idea..lol). I decided since we have all day that I would make some spaghetti sauce. There is sort of a recipe, but my mom makes the best sauce! I make mine and while its still yummy, hers is better. Here it is (alter if need be...there is no set recipe):

2 large cans diced tomatoes
2 large cans tomato sauce
2 large cans puréed tomatoes
2 medium cans tomato paste
Garlic
Green pepper
Onion
Sugar
Italian seasoning

Sauté the peppers and onions. Add garlic in when onions are translucent. Cook for a minute or 2. Add all of the tomatoes. Add Italian seasoning (I don't measure, just add enough). Add a little bit of sugar to cut down the acidity of the tomatoes. Cook on high for 1 hour, stirring frequently. Turn heat down and simmer. The longer you let it cook, the better it is :)

I don't add meat to my sauce. I normally make meatballs to go with it. Eddy loves this meal!!

This makes a lot, but the sauce freezes nicely.
