In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork until no longer pink. Do not drain.
Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the meat and cook over low heat until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2-4 hours.
Taste and add additional sugar, salt, or red pepper as desired.
Notes 
:
For a healthier alternative, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of pork. The longer the sauce simmers, the richer and more flavorful it will become. If time allows, aim for the full 4 hours. Freezing is an excellent way to store this sauce, ensuring you have homemade sauce on hand for future meals.
