Home Made Spaghetti Sauce

This version of sauce takes a little more time to put together than the Basic Spaghetti Sauce, but you can customize the taste to your own preferences by adding or decreasing particular ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds Ground Beef

1 large Onion, chopped

1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped

1 Clove Garlic, chopped

2 (6-ounce) Cans Tomato Paste

1 (8-ounce) Can Tomato Sauce

1 (14 ½-ounce) Can Stewed Tomatoes

1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

2 Tbsp Sugar

1 tsp Salt

1 cup Water

Directions: 

Brown the beef in a large, heavy bottomed pot, then drain off the fat. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic and saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, seasonings, and water. Simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool. The sauce will keep for several days covered and refrigerated. Serve with spaghetti or your favorite pasta.

I like to double or triple the recipe and freeze in meal sized servings for later use. If you are doing the work to cook a nice meal make enough for two or three meals. Takes the same amount of time but it pays off down the road!

You can also use the Spaghetti Sauce Dry Mix listed in the Dry Mixes section in place of the Italian Seasoning and Sugar.
