Submitted by gaylesue

"This is the spaghetti sauce I grew up on. My mom always made it, the recipe has never been written down. I have tweaked it to my own taste as I cook for my own family now. All measurements are guestimated and can be adjusted."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 9

• 1⁄4 cup onion, diced
• 1 lb hamburger
• oregano (to taste)
• basil (to taste)

directions

1. Brown hamburger with garlic and onion then drain.
2. In saucepan add hamburger, tomato sauce 1/2 of the tomato paste oregano and basil, olive oil and red wine.
3. As sauce heats through add more tomato paste until thickness is to your liking. ( I like it fairly thick and it depends on how the wine cooks out as to how much paste I add. )
