Best 5 Mimis Fantastic Thick Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

MIMI'S FANTASTIC THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy pot, brown sausage and hamburg, breaking it up into smaller pieces.
• Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook till meat is done; add tomato paste and stir until it is mixed in well.
• Add tomato puree, sauce, and water (when measuring the water, put it into the puree can to rinse it all out and then add to meat mixture).
• Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
• Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
• Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
• Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.

CHEATER'S THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in large, deep pot until hot but not smoking.
• Lower heat to medium-low and add dried onion. Fry onion, stirring occasionally, until it softens and turns a light brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Watch it carefully, and monitor the heat. If the onion is jumping excitedly, your pan is too hot. You want the onion to lie on the bottom of the pan and twitch nervously.
• Add ground beef and brown it until there's no more pink. Don't stir the beef too much as it browns. You can get big chunky pieces of meat if you let it brown on one side, then flip it over and break it up just a little with a wooden spoon.
• Drain ground beef of excess fat. Don't be too thorough about this, because you need about a teaspoon of fat in which to fry the bell pepper.
• Over medium-low heat, fry the bell pepper for about a minute in the teaspoon of fat that you left in the pot.
• Add ground beef back to the pot.
• Dump in both jars of spaghetti sauce, both cans of tomato paste, and the water. Mix thoroughly.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over pasta.
