Ultimate Spaghetti

Submitted by skeptic777

"I never, never order spaghetti when we dine out. I find it very bland, offering mostly tomato sauce with out much flavor. My wife has been preparing this recipe for years and our family and friends love it."

Delicious. I would serve this to company with confidence and it doesn't take all day to make. The only spaghetti I have left in the house is whole wheat and multigrain so I used other pasta to suite him. While I didn't weigh it out I used about half of the ground beef ask for and that amount worked very well for us. Made for PAC, Spring 2012.
