Home-Made Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Filed under Recipes by Jennifer Billy on January 25, 2013 at 11:29 am {no comments}

recipe

I have another recipe to share with you today. It is a version of my mama’s spaghetti sauce that I changed up a little bit after trying my husband’s grandmother’s spaghetti sauce that surprisingly had a sweet flavor to it. After trying it, I KNEW that I had to figure out how to make it!!! So I did, and this is what I came up with. Sugar!!! The obvious solution, right?! I know it may sound a little crazy, but it’s such a different take on traditional spaghetti sauce that it just works. The sugar works to take out the tanginess of the tomatoes. It is easy to make, and, of course, very inexpensive… and one of the few things that my kids actually ask for and will sit down and eat without argument. It’s nothing fancy or spectacular, but we love it and hope you enjoy it, as well.

Home-Made Spaghetti Sauce

1lb ground beef

1-1 ½ tsp of minced garlic

¼ cup of chopped onion (optional)

2 – 8oz cans of tomato sauce

1- 15oz can of diced tomatoes

1- 6oz can of tomato paste

½ tbsp. of Garlic Powder

5 tbsp granulated sugar

1 small package spaghetti (cooked and drained)

In medium sauce pan, combine ground beef, minced garlic, and onion. Heat over medium heat until ground beef is browned and cooked through. Drain, then place back into sauce pan.

Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste to beef mixture and mix well. Return to heat (still medium) and add garlic powder and sugar. Mix well and when sauce starts to bubble (watch carefully because it can make a mess) turn heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Add sauce to cooked spaghetti, serve topped with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!!!
