"LEFTOVERS" SPAGHETTI SAUCE



I love eating ground beef in my spaghetti sauce. Here's another recipe I made up, this time with leftovers I had in the fridge and also what I had on hand in the pantry. We were on a tight budget at the time, so I just threw a bunch of stuff together and it came out quite good and my husband enjoyed it too Again, my measurements are all estimated, I apologize.

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (24 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (26 ounce) jar Prego spaghetti sauce, your choice of flavor (tomato, green pepper and onion flavor is the kind i had on hand. Also try tomato, onion, and garlic)
1 -3 clove garlic, chopped fine
1 lb browned ground beef
1/2 small white onion, chopped
1 -3 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • I had previously browned and drained the ground beef and had it in the fridge, If you don't have this leftover, brown ground beef first in a nonstick skillet, drain off fat really well.
  • I use a pile of paper towels to soak up the fat.
  • Place ground beef in a large pot.
  • Stir in all other ingredients except the sugar.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Turn heat down to low and simmer uncovered or covered for about 30 minutes or so to let the flavors mix, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste the sauce now and then and add more onions or garlic to taste.
  • Add a little sugar to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes during the simmering.
  • Serve over hot spaghetti noodles.
  • The sauce should be fairly thick, not runny, so as you add in the ingredients, use more or less of the Prego as needed.
  • If too thick, add a little water, more Prego, or more stewed tomatoes with juice.
  • When I made mine, it was the consistency of chili.
  • This makes a pretty decent batch, can feed 2-4 depending on how much everyone eats in a serving.

This is a dish intended for your left-over spaghetti. In my house there never seems to be enough left over to make this, so seeing as we love this dish a lot I make it with fresh spaghetti. Night #1 we are all dancing in our seat with pleasure as we eat dinner and lunch on day #2 is a treat beyond words.

LEFTOVER SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE



Leftover Spaghetti Casserole image

Because you can use left over spaghetti instead of throwing it away, I got the idea from a niece of mine a few years ago.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 35m

Yield 1 casserole dish, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

leftover spaghetti
pepperoni (enough to cover the top of spaghetti)
mozzarella cheese (enough to cover the pepperoni)
16 ounces tomatoes (with peppers and onions)

Steps:

  • Mix the tomatoes with spaghetti and pour into a pan according, to the size of your spaghetti.
  • Cover with pepperoni and then cover pepperoni with cheese.
  • I usually make these and put them in the freezer, to be ready for family or church get togethers always take the top off of the casserole before you bake it so the cheese wont stick to the top.
  • Bake at 350°F until it is bubbling because it is already cooked.
  • My family can't get enough of it, I have some that don't like meat so I fix some with hamburger and some traditional.

Tips for Making the Best Leftover-Spaghetti Sauce

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your sauce will be. Opt for flavorful tomatoes, fresh vegetables, and savory herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Overcooked sauce will become thin and bland. Simmer the sauce gently until it has reached your desired consistency.
  • Add depth of flavor. To add extra richness and complexity to your sauce, try adding a splash of red wine, a dollop of tomato paste, or a handful of chopped mushrooms or olives.
  • Season to taste. Every palate is different, so be sure to taste your sauce and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until it reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta. Leftover-spaghetti sauce is delicious served over any type of pasta. Choose a pasta shape that will hold the sauce well, such as penne, rigatoni, or fusilli.

Conclusion

< p>Making the most of your leftovers is a great way to save time and money. With a little creativity, you can turn your day-old spaghetti sauce into a delicious and satisfying meal. So get creative and experiment with different recipes until you find the perfect one for your taste. You won't be disappointed!
