2 ounces olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
4 cups tomato sauce
2 cups stewed tomatoes
2 ounces red wine
8 ounces water
2 ounces grated Cheddar cheese

Put olive oil, onions, and beef in a large heavy pot. Cook over medium heat until beef is brown. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for at least 4 hours—the longer the better. (You may have to add a little more water after a few hours.) Serve over cooked, drained spaghetti.
