In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the sausage and beef. Put meat into a separate bowl on the side.  Then cook the onion till translucent, and garlic until well browned; drain fat, add the meat back in. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Mix in sugar and all the seasonings, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

A I have roasted the chopped tomatoes,  zucchini and peppers on broil in oven for 20min with salt, pepper, oil, and garlic before I add to the sauce.  It gives a deeper intense flavor

Serve with Cheesy bake tortellini or Chicken Parmesan or Lasagna Rolls or Lasagna
