MIMI'S FANTASTIC THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy pot, brown sausage and hamburg, breaking it up into smaller pieces.
• Add chopped onions and minced garlic and cook till meat is done; add tomato paste and stir until it is mixed in well.
• Add tomato puree, sauce, and water (when measuring the water, put it into the puree can to rinse it all out and then add to meat mixture).
• Add basil, brown sugar, salt, parsley, and black pepper and mix well.
• Add the Parmesan cheese (yes, to the the sauce) and mix it in well.
• Simmer on low for 2-4 hours stirring occasionally so it won't burn; if you think it needs some thinning down, add about 1/8 cup water at a time; don't add too much because you want it thick so it will stick to your pasta.
• Cook your spaghetti and enjoy! Eat what you want and freeze the rest in containers that will hold the amount you will eat at a sitting.

QUICK & THICK SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH MEAT

Steps:

• Mix ground beef and cold water in a cold dutch oven. The beef will absorb the water like a sponge. As it cooks, the water will keep the ground beef from forming large clumps.
• Place over high heat.
• Add onion and spices. Stir occasionally.
• Allow meat to cook until all water evaporates.
• Cook a few minutes longer until the beef gets browned like the outside of a hamburger. The browning makes the sauce richer.
• Turn down the heat to simmer and add the jar of spaghetti sauce. Stir to combine.
• If you want a thinner sauce, add a 16 ounce can of diced tomatoes.
• Heat through.
• Hints: * If you can't get 96% lean ground beef, proceed with recipe, except don't allow the water to evaporate. Drain off the water and fat and return the meat mixture to the pot to brown.
