How to Make Kathy's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  6. Serve over your favorite pasta and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
