When I was first married, I bought those jarred spaghetti sauces, but I figured I could come up with a recipe just as good. I have to admit, mine tastes just like one of those well known store brand names. And now that the stores are always reducing the amount in their jarred sauces; I'm glad my recipe makes enough to go around.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt
3-5 dashes pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1-2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
3-5 dashes paprika
7 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained
cooked spaghetti
parmesan cheese

Directions

1
In a Dutch oven or large stock pot, brown ground beef, onion, green peppers;drain off fat.
2
Add the remaining ingredients.
3
Cook over low heat until heated through.
4
Serve with cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese.
5
Note: I'm not sure of prep time and cooking time;from start to finish.

I was in a pickle tonight when I realized that I had no jarred Spaghetti Sauce in the pantry and Spaghetti was for dinner! Thanks for coming to our rescue with this quick & easy sauce! I followed the ingredients exactly with the following exceptions - left out the green pepper and canned mushrooms ('cause we didn't have any) and held back some of the salt because I always add salt to taste (if possible) to avoid over-salting. I found that about 1/4 T. salt worked for us with the 1/2 t. garlic salt in there too (of course your mileage may vary depending on the salt content of your tomato products). I loved how quick it was to whip together - and imagine it would be wonderful if it was given time to simmer longer as well. I have a feeling after having this sauce my family may not let me go back to jarred! Thanks a bunch D.G.!

I thought I had spaghetti sauce in the pantry, but I was out.... this recipe to the rescue! I made it mostly as directed, leaving out the green pepper (didn't have any) and the paprika (forgot it). Next time I would add some crushed tomatoes, too. I'll definitely make this again- thanks for sharing!

This is a great basic sauce that I've been using for a year. I like that I can leave out some things and put in some things depending on what I have in the pantry. Very flexible.
