Canva - Spaghetti Sauce

Lately, I’ve had a hankerin’ for spaghetti! Unfortunately, our garden is done producing for the season, therefore I have to make the long trek into town to get the desired ingredients for our favorite spaghetti sauce!

Preferring a thicker sauce, we like to bulk it up with our favorite veggies – peppers, onions and carrots, just to name a few! Gotta get those veggies in!

What’s really nice is that this recipe is so quick and easy – and kid friendly to boot! You can use it whenever a recipe calls for tomato sauce, such as lasagna… or, you can simply dip your favorite crusty garlic bread into this tasty sauce!

Since this particular recipe includes ground beef, simply leave it out if you don’t do meat!

Our Favorite Thick & Hearty Tomato Sauce

Here’s what you need:

1 cup cooked ground beef
1/2 cup mushroom pieces
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 can diced tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Let’s put it all together!

First, heat a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat with a small amount of oil.
Briefly sauté’ the mushrooms and onions.
Add the ground beef and cook until all the pink is gone.
Next, add the beef broth.
Then, slowly whisk in the canned tomatoes and seasonings.
Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour onto your favorite pasta and serve!

Hope you enjoy this as much as we do! Hungry now, talk later!

Until next time,

Peace, love and happy homesteading!
