To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook kid-friendly meat sauce for pasta using 12 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:

1. Make ready 80/20 ground beef
2. Get medium onions, minced
3. Prepare large cloves garlic, minced
4. Take oil (vegetable or olive work fine)
5. Prepare dried basil
6. Get dried oregano
7. Prepare bay leaves
8. Get tightly packed brown sugar
9. Get ketcup
10. Get cans tomatoes
11. Prepare black pepper
12. Take kosher salt

Instructions to make Kid-Friendly Meat Sauce for Pasta:

1. In a large pot (4 quarts minimum), bring 1 Tablespoon oil to medium high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks, and seasoning it with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Using a large cooking spoon, move the cooked meat to a bowl or plate and set aside. Remove some or all of the grease from the beef to your liking. (I like to leave about half for flavor.)
2. Add 1 Tablespoon oil into the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and sweat the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. This should take 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add in the dried herbs, stir them in, and give them a minute to bloom in the oil.
4. Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients, including the ground beef, give it 3 or 4 gentle stirs to mix everything together, and simmer with the lid askew (about 1/4-inch opening on one side) for a total of 45 minutes on medium low heat, stirring every 10 minutes or so to redistribute the ingredients and to make sure the sauce isn't burning on the bottom. If you can scrape stuff off the bottom during a long simmer, your heat's too high, and you should adjust down accordingly.
5. During the long simmer's a good time to boil and drain your pasta.
6. Before the last 10 minutes of simmer is a good time to adjust your seasonings as well.
7. Enjoy! :)
