Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

 


For This Recipe You Will Need:

  • 1/2 lb. extra lean ground beef
  • medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1/4 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 small can mushrooms (drained)
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 can Del Monte Brand Italian Stewed Tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (I used Great Value Brand)
  • 1 small can tomato paste (6oz.)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
  • thin spaghetti (cooked according to package instructions) 
  • powdered parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on when serving)

In a large pot place ground beef, onion, and bell pepper, cook on medium high heat, stirring until beef is browned, add minced garlic stir and cook for a minute, next add rest of the ingredients (besides the noodles and parmesan cheese). Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer on low for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles, with a sprinkle of powdered parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic bread and romaine salad. 

Serves 4 (or maybe more depending on serving sizes)

This sauce has a slight sweetness to it, and it has just the right amount of Italian flavor, without it being overpowering, it is delicious and so easy too. 

Enjoy!
