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.

Categories     Sauces

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.

I'm not a big fan of spaghetti sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce is so flavorful and the meatballs are so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly but my sauce turned out too salty. I think I might have added too much salt. Next time I will be more careful.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The sauce was bland and the meatballs were tough. I would not recommend this recipe.
