Karen's Famous Spaghetti Sauce

I've been making this sauce for years and it has been a favorite with my family and friends although I have never shared the recipe.  You can also use it for Lasagna, Manicotti or other pasta dishes.  I usually freeze some because I never know when someone may come by and request I make spaghetti for dinner.  So everyone here it is.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large red onion
6 cloves of garlic minced (reserve 3 cloves)
3 cans Hunts spaghetti sauce with mushrooms or Paul Newman's Marinara
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 12 ounce can tomato paste
1 cup water
1-2 Tb Italian seasoning

Directions

Brown ground beef, onion and 3 cloves of garlic in large skillet.  Drain well.
In large stock pot combine ground beef, canned sauce, crushed tomatoes and remainder 3 cloves of garlic.  Add water to rinse out cans and add to sauce.  Add tomato paste and Italian Seasoning.  If sauce is to thick add a little more water.  Bring sauce to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for
3-4 hours.  Serve over spaghetti or favorite pasta.

This can also be cooked in the crock pot for 6 hours on low
