Spaghetti

This is a simple recipe that tastes just like home. It's a nice inexpensive way to make it, instead of buying a 3 dollar jar of sauce and having to add flavor to it...

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  lb spaghetti noodles
• 1  lb lean ground beef
• 2  links mild Italian sausage
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 5 (6 ounce) cans water
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 3 -5  baby carrots
• 1  tablespoon  italian seasoning
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  pinch sugar

Directions

1. In a skillet, brown beef and sausage (squeezed out of it's casing). Drain fat.
2. Add tomato paste, and fill the can with water 5 times, adding to paste. Add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Drop in the baby carrots (these are only added to absorb the acidic flavor of the sauce and mellow it out).
3. Sauce will be watery at first, and will thicken over time. It can be cooked fast over high heat, or slow simmered over low heat for several hours.
4. Before serving, remove the baby carrots.
5. Cook spaghetti noodles to package directions and drain. Serve spaghetti sauce over bed of noodles.
