Recipe of the day

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb ground beef

1 chopped large onion

1 clove crushed garlic

1 - 6 oz can tomato paste

2 - 16 oz cans tomato sauce

2 - 16 oz cans chopped tomatoes (I use Del Monte's Flavored chopped tomatos)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons dried oregano

sugar to taste (between a tsp and a tbsp... you want it to cut the acidity but not to be too sweet)

On high setting, fry ground beef and onion in oil, until ground beef is brown. Drain fat.Set burner on low and add rest of ingredients in order given, stirring each in as you go.Cover and simmer for at least an hour (the longer you simmer the better it is!).

This is best served the next day and it freezes well.
Notes: Feel free to add a large can of mushrooms and extra garlic.If you like a thicker sauce, drain the chopped tomatoes and simmer sauce with the lid half off of the pot to let the steam escape.
