Here’s an easy one. Spaghetti the way my mom always made it.

Spaghetti

1 lb ground meat

1 large onion, chopped

3-5 cloves of garlic, crushed

1/2 lb mushrooms, chopped (if using canned mushrooms, drain them well)

14 oz stewed tomatoes

14 oz tomato sauce

12 oz tomato paste

1 tablespoon oregano

1 tablespoon basil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 bay leaf (optional)

Salt, pepper, sugar to taste

In 6-8 quart pot or dutch oven, add meat, onions, and garlic. Cook on medium heat until meat browns.

Add tomatoes and mushrooms. If using cans, rinse with a dash of water.

Add seasonings and stir well.

Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions and mushrooms reach desired texture.

Serve hot on your preference of pasta!
