Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
Does anyone have a recipe for a good home made spaghetti sauce? My best friend just had a baby a month ago and we are having her and her husband over for Sunday night dinner and I was thinking of making some pasta. At one time I had a really good home made recipe but I lost it when we moved.
No Ragu???
This is a great question. I have always wanted to make my own sauce, but didn't have a recipe. For a quick dinner, I always do a jar of sauce with some diced tomatoes. When I want to make it yummy, I put a jar in the crock pot with a can of diced tomatoes. Then I add an envelope of spaghetti seasoning. Simmers in the crock pot all day, and it's not too bad.

This recipe is from my grandmother and been the favorite for years. I just change the base for us… I don’t know how many people you will have for dinner but with this you should be able to have some extra so you can have lasagna the next day or put some in the freezer. I always give some as a gift when friends have a new baby so they don't need to cook one night :)
I start the "base" with 3 medium jar of Prego mushroom spaghetti sauce; add 1 hunt’s tomato sauce (~19oz) depending how liquid you like your sauce. Cook: 1 ½ pound of ground beef with 2 onions and 1or2 garlic glove.
Chop fine 1-2 celery branch, 6 -8 mushrooms, 1 green pepper- pull all ingredient in a big pan. Add 1/4cup of Ketchup (to cut the acidity) and herbs like salt, pepper, Basil, parsley and I also had Italian herbs instead of red pepper for my taste. Cook on very low for 3 hours. I always have some garlic/cheese bread for this meal also. Bonne appetit!
