Easy Spaghetti for Dinner!

I love making spaghetti! It’s delicious, filling, and feeds my family for days. Not to mention it’s CHEAP. This is more on the meaty side, which makes my significant other pretty happy. Here’s a quick recipe for those short on time:

• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat it up in a large pot

• 1 yellow onion, diced. Add to pot and stir until lightly browned, about 10 mins

• 4 cloves garlic. You’ll add this right before adding the meat. No need to brown

• 1 lb ground beef, 80% lean. Add to pot after onions have browned.

• 1 lb mild sausage (or hot). Add to pot with beef. Brown both meats and then add hamburger deluxe seasoning or preferred seasonings (garlic, salt, pepper, etc)

• 2 cans 15 oz tomato sauce. Add to pot

• 1 can tomato paste

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• lots of seasonings! I eyeball and add more after tasting. The amount is your preference. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, LOTS of red pepper flakes (I like a kick), and Italian seasoning.

Simmer for however long you’d like or eat right away. I normally simmer for a few hours. Mix with noodles and voila! 👌🍝💚

... Read moreSpaghetti is more than just an easy meal; it’s a beloved dish that brings comfort to the table. To elevate your homemade spaghetti experience, consider experimenting with various sauces or adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added nutrients. Pair your hearty spaghetti with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete dinner package.
