Ingredients
-
1 lb lean ground beef
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
1 (26 ounce) spaghetti sauce (I use Bertolli's Tomato and Basil sauce)
-
1/2 cup water
-
1 (6 ounce) tomato paste
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
8 ounces spaghetti noodles (thin)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat vegetable oil and saute onions for 2 minutes. Lift out into a small dish and set aside. (For the garlic lovers, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic may be added to cook along with onions.).
- Brown ground beef and drain. Place onions and ground beef back into saucepan.
- Add spaghetti sauce - (I use Bertolli's Tomato and Basil sauce. I rinse out the jar with the 1/2 cup of water and pour into saucepan.) Continue to add: tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sugar, salt and black pepper.
- Place lid on saucepan and cook on low heat for 30 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, cook noodles according to instructions on box. (I add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to water to prevent noodles from sticking together and add salt to water.) Cook only to a la dente stage and drain.
- Serve noodles on plate with sauce on top. Serve with buttered garlic bread.
- ENJOY!
