Cut up into small pieces onion, pepper, celery including the inner heart, break apart garlic and press each with spoon then peel. Combine all including spices (by smell!) in large skillet, add olive oil. Simmer until all are tender. Strain if necessary. Place into large sauce pot on low heat. Add diced, crushed, sauce, and whole tomatoes.

Brown hamburger, make some meatballs if you like and brown as well. Drain meat and add to sauce pot. Turn up heat and simmer just below boil one hour. Turn heat down to low. Let heat for several hours, house will smell great! If you made meatballs wait until one half hour before serving to add to mixture, also add mushrooms at this time.
