"Learned from my mom, very basic recipe. It can be changed to suit any taste. I usually use more garlic, and some parmasian, even used italian sausage instead of ground beef, but I'm just putting down the basic way I learned."

Easy and tasty, this is something similar to what my grandmother did for spaghetti sauce, though sometimes she would add bell pepper as well as mushrooms or just bell peppers, it is thick and flavourful and it smells great. I used a mix of ground pork and beef and fresh button mushrooms (it was the cheapest at the supermarket) and it worked out well. I added a bit more oregano, but that is only thing I changed with the spices. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Spring 2013.
