Instructions
In a large saucepan, you will brown the beef and drain any grease left.
Add in the jar of Prego, can of diced tomatoes, a can of whole tomatoes, and then use enough water just to rinse each can or jar and add to the pan. This is done for two reasons; the first reason is to use all the Prego sauce, and any juices or small tomato prices left in the cans/jar, and the other reason is you will need a little water added to the sauce, so it isn't too thick.
Next add in all your seasonings. Each person is different on how much they need of each seasoning, but my mom would always put about one tablespoon of the herbs and then to taste for the salt & pepper.
Mix everything together really good, cover, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for about 2 hours. Be sure to stir occasionally, so the sauce doesn't stick or burn to the pan.
