Soooo Apparently I'm a Chef?

Actually, I am no chef. Let's go ahead and clarify that.

I can however, make a FEW things that are a) edible and b) worth having again.

One that tops the list (of probably a total of four things) is spaghetti sauce. Yes, I know, EVERYONE can make spaghetti sauce, but I have the recipe that was passed down from my Grandmama and mom and will stomp on any Olive Garden recipe.

So now, I will share (because I'm nice like that):

You'll need:
1 pound (or more if you prefer) LEAN ground beef

1/2 chopped jumbo sweet onion

1 can of Hunt's tomato sauce

1 small can of Hunt's tomato paste

1/2 jar of Prego Roasted Garlic & Herb sauce
(you can choose any, this is just my fav)


Garlic Powder

Onion Powder 
I'm apparently a McCormick spokesperson....

Oregano 
(i LOVE oregano)

1 bay leaf


and lastly, salt and pepper


So, what to do now you say?
  • brown meat and chopped onion together in a dutch oven; drain
  • combine tomato sauce, paste, Prego, and all spices together
  • judge your spice amounts based on your preference (i'm heavy on the oregano!)
  • stir, cover and simmer for 1-2 hours
Don't forget to pair it up with whole grain noodles!


So now you know! Happy cooking!
