My Spaghetti Sauce

My most popular recipe post of all time thus far?

My recipe for alfredo sauce. Who would have thought everyone was looking for a recipe for alfredo sauce? It gives me hope for the world.

As a sequel to my alfredo sauce recipe, how would you like my recipe for a very tasty spaghetti sauce?

Was that a yes? Alrighty then :)

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or four garlic cloves, minced)
1 medium onion (or one tablespoon dehydrated onions)

28 ounces diced tomatoes
8 oz. tomato paste
16 oz. tomato sauce
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

I also like to add a little cooking wine and sneak some carrots in too for a little extra vitamin A. Do what you like :)

First, cook up the beef with garlic and onion. Cook until brown. If your husband volunteers for this task (especially if the beef is still a little frozen), let him do it.

Ain't he handsome?

When it's all browned, drain the grease.

Then add your tomatoes (diced, paste, sauce)

Diced.

sauce

Paste.

Your spices and seasonings

Basil and oregano

Salt 

Pepper

And let it simmer for 30-60 minutes. It depends on how flavorful you want it, and how hungry you are.

While the sauce is simmering, boil some noodles, toss a salad or prepare another vegetable.

When it's ready, spoon it over whatever pasta suits your fancy. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Or if you're from northern Utah, some shredded cheddar cheese. Yes, I still think it's weird my husband does it. Why do you ask?

Enjoy :)
