Mom's All-Purpose Italian Sauce

 Mom found the basic recipe on a TV cooking program and then adapted it and it came out well.  It's a great spaghetti sauce, but it makes an awesome lasagna sauce, also.  Vary the amounts of each ingredients as desired.

1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes

1  6 oz can tomato paste

1 medium onion, chopped

6 cloves garlic, minced

¾ lb hamburger

½ Tsp salt

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil (we actually used fresh)

⅓ C. red grape juice

Pasta

Mushrooms to taste

Brown hamburger, onion, garlic together

Add other ingredients (may need additional water to allow enough liquid to cook down)

Simmer 20 min.

Prepare pasta according to package instructions
