Submitted by dianegrapegrower

"This started out being my recipe for spaghetti sauce, but when I taught my husband to make it, he improved it so it's now his. Our son, when he was young, was very concerned that he always be able to make Dad's sauce, so he watched and wrote down the recipe. I'm posting it here, so he can access now that he's grown and away from home."

I made this recipe at the last minute. The smell of the spaghetti sauce was awesome. And the taste also. I omitted the olive oil since I used 1 lb of lean ground beef. I used 1 small onion. And just 1 garlic clove cause I'm not really a fam of garlic. The seasoning is perfect. I just omitted the seasoning salt. And I used more than 5 dash of hot sauce by mistake. Oh and I added half a package of mushroom sliced. We liked this spaghetti sauce so much. Even my son of 4 years old that is fussy. Thanks Diane :) Made for PAC Spring 2010
