My Favorite Spaghetti Sauce

Submitted by daggle

"This is my favorite spaghetti sauce. (I make it on the stove top but may be good for a crock pot)."

 

• Ready In: 4hrs 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 30 ounces tomato sauce
• 15 ounces diced tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 2⁄3 cup grape jelly
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

directions

1. Brown beef with diced onion and drain.
2. In separate sauce pan mix all other ingredients over medium high heat. Bring to boil.
3. Reduce heat add beef and onions. Let simmer. The longer the sauce simmers the better it taste. (We usually simmer for 3-5 hours).
4. I almost always end up adding more spices while it cooks to get it just right, so the measurements above are a starting point.

Your favorite and now I think it's mine too! I love this. I knew when I chose this recipe for PAC Fall 2006, that it would not be the 100 star recipe that I am looking for. But this well deserves 5 stars. I made the italian seasoning part, used ground turkey and everything else exact. I knew I liked jellies in meatballs, so I thought that I might like this. I did and Do!!! I will be having this again and again. Thank you daggle!!!
