This is one of the first recipes that I learned to make that I still make today. My mom's spaghetti is the only spaghetti that I really like. It makes it hard to have to break down and buy the bottled sauce (but times are tough, sometimes it's just something I have to sacrifice haha). Anyway, this sauce is super thick and hearty and has veggies (you can probably add more if you want) and gives a nice well rounded meal.
Mom's Spaghetti:
1 lb hamburger 1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter 1 can tomato sauce
1 can sliced olives, drained 1-2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained 1 package Italian spaghetti sauce mix
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 cup red cooking wine
Parmesan cheese
1. Brown hamburger in frying pan. Drain off fat.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a stock pot. Add green pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute for a few minutes, but don't burn the garlic.
3. Add meat to the pot, along with the remaining ingredients. Season with Italian seasonings or with oregano and salt and pepper.
4. Let sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick you want it).
Of course add your favorite kind of spaghetti noodles.
If you choose to leave out the cooking wine, that's fine. It tastes just as good without it! :D Enjoy!
