| This is an easy recipe for homemade spaghetti | | | | 1 medium onion, sliced |
| sauce with meatballs. While the cooking time | | | | |
| is long, this can be mostly unsupervised, | | | | 1 green pepper, diced |
| just give it an occasional stir. If you | | | | |
| desire, you can use the crock pot or the | | | | 1 tablespoon sugar |
| pressure cooker for this recipe, those | | | | |
| instructions are included at the end. | | | | 1 4 ounce can mushrooms |
| | | | |
| You can add other herbs to suit your liking. | | | | 1/2 teaspoon thyme or other herbs as desired |
| I've known cooks to add parsley, bay leaves, | | | | |
| oregano, marjoram, or take the easy way out | | | | 2 tablespoons olive oil |
| and use 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning | | | | |
| mix instead of the thyme. Experiment until | | | | |
| you find the mix your family prefers. | | | | |
| | | | 1. Mix the meats, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, |
| Italian Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe | | | | garlic salt, and eggs. Form into meatballs |
| | | | the about 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter. Brown |
| 3/4 pound ground beef | | | | in the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven |
| | | | (if cooking sauce on the stovetop). |
| 1/4 pound ground pork sausage meat | | | | |
| | | | 2. When meatballs are brown, remove from the |
| 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs - I like Italian | | | | pan and add the onion and green pepper. |
| style seasoned | | | | Saute for a few minutes. |
| | | | |
| 2 small eggs | | | | 3. Return the meat balls to the pot and add |
| | | | the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, |
| 1 clove garlic, or 1 teaspoon minced garlic, | | | | reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours on |
| or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder | | | | the stovetop stirring occasionally. You're |
| | | | going to want to cover this, tomato sauces |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt | | | | tend to spit occasionally. You can simmer on |
| | | | low in the crock pot all day until you are |
| 1/4 teaspoon pepper | | | | ready to serve, or you can also pressure cook |
| | | | this for 20 minutes at low pressure (5lbs.) |
| 12 ounces tomato paste | | | | When using either of these methods, follow |
| | | | the instructions completely until the cooking |
| 1 large can of tomatoes or 2 regular cans | | | | step. When using the crock pot, I reduce the |
| | | | water to about 1/2 cup or until the thickness |
| 1 cup water | | | | you desire. |
