Gari Lu's Spaghetti Sauce

2 cups canned diced tomatoes (1 14.5 oz can)
2 cups tomato sauce (1 14.5 oz. can)
1 cup water
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped (can use pre chopped)
1/4 cup parsley (I use dried)
1 1/2 tsp. italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp. house seasoning (recipe below)
1 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
2 small bay leaves
1- 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

Combine all ingredients except for ground beef. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and let simmer covered for 1 hour.
Crumble beef in large skillet. Cook and drain fat. Add to liquid after it's been simmering for 1 hour. Once beef has been added simmer for additional 20 minutes. Remove bay leaves.

House seasoning (I make a large batch and store in airtight container. Good for 6 months)
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

This is a great recipe to double and freeze any leftovers.
