How to Make 30 Minute Spaghetti Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown 1 pound of ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 2 (24-ounce) jars of your favorite tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Simmer for longer if desired, to allow the flavors to deepen.
- Serve over your favorite pasta. Leftovers freeze beautifully! Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
