For meat sauce, cook ground beef, bacon, onion and garlic in a Dutch oven over medium heat until ground beef is brown (165 degrees), stirring occasionally to break into crumbles. Drain and discard drippings. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, parsley, basil, oregano and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 50 to 60 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring often. Season to taste with salt. Let cool.
