How to Make Cindi's Spaghetti Sauce
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Drain off any excess grease from the pot.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, minced garlic, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 20-25 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite cooked spaghetti and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
