This recipe is inspired by the best spaghetti I've ever had at "Le Bier Circus" in Brussels Belgium.

1 lb Lean Ground Beef
1 lb Mild Italian Sausage
1 lb Hot italian Sausage
6 oz Sliced Pepperoni
2 Large Onions, chopped
2 Green Bell Peppers, seeded and chopped
1 lb Crimini Mushrooms, sliced
10 or more Garlic Cloves, crushed
2 tbls Dried Basil
2 tbls Dried Oregano
2 tbls Dried Marjoram
1 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 cup Molasses
4 cans (15 oz. ea.) Tomato Puree
1 (750ml bottle) Chimay Grand Reserve
Hot Cooked Pasta

Brown meat in a large pan over medium heat. Once browned, add pepperoni, onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms: stir occasionally until onion is opaque (15-20 min.)
Meanwhile in a blender or food processor, whirl garlic, basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, molasses and about 1 cup of tomato puree until garlic and herbs are finely chopped. Pour mixture into pan: Rinse the blender with beer and pour into pan along with remaining beer in bottle and tomato puree. Cover and bring to boil over high heat, stir frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours. Stir occasionally.

Ladle over hot pasta.

Enjoy!
 
That is a very intriguing recipe, and I'm tempted to give it a try. If so, I'll definitely post the results.
 
I was hesitant about the pepperoni as well but the it adds a nice flavor. I dice it pretty small so it all kind of dissolves into the sauce by the time it's done. I'm sure it would be good without it though.
 
Okay, busy weekend. Brewed an Stout yesterday, going to brew a IPA tomorow. But today I cooked Brewtopias Chimays spaghetti sauce. And yes I put in the pepperoni. I must say that this IS some damn good sauce. It was a little pricey, but wow, it is worth every penny!!! The only thing that I would do different next time is use a little less molasses. Just a touch too sweet. SWMBO LOVED it.
Thanks Brewtopia. I suggest that you guys try this sauce. you won't be sorry!
 
Thanks! Glad you liked it. This is really the only spaghetti sauce I make now. I've used it as my base sauce in lasagna as well with good results. The recipe makes quite a bit so we freeze it in portions and it is even better the second time around.
 
Okay, not to beat this thing to death, but SWMBO and I just had this for breakfast! She said that this is the only sauce she'll eat from now on! Looks like I'm in trouble, it cost about 20-25 Dollars and takes 2.5 hours to make.
 
I realize this is an old thread, but I just made this sauce the other night. It's very good, expensive, but very good. Makes a lot too.
