Spaghetti Sauce (or Lasagna Sauce)
Spaghetti is Brenda’s all-time favorite food that she makes for herself.
That’s a big statement considering everything that she’s known for making.
Today, Brenda’s sharing her favorite Spaghetti Sauce recipe with us. Simple, flavorful, and the perfect paring to some al dente noodles.

In a skillet heated to medium, brown:
1/2 lb ground beef
Drain fat. Season with:
Garlic salt

1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed
3/4 tsp dried oregano, crushed
3/4 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 lb ground beef, cooked

Brenda’s tips:
Serving Size: 4 servings
Brenda loves watching the tomatoes reduce and the herbs permeate the sauce. Brenda prefers to allow the sauce to simmer 4-6 hours.
This sauce is perfect for lasagna.
Brenda sources her beef in pound packages so generally will brown the entire pound and freeze half for another meal.
