Anyone care to share their way of making this?

I buy the cheapest commercial canned
spaghetti sauce (Hunts or Del Monte
always cheap here), then I add a
can of diced tomatoes, a small can
of store brand tomato paste, a can
of black olives and finish it off
be adding a generous dollop of
Pickapeppa Sauce, which really adds such a
neat flavor to spaghetti sauce. Then,
if I am in the mood for something extra,
I brown some sweet Italian sausage (with
finely minced onion and garlic in with the
meat while it is browning).

Ha...sure..I open a jar of prego, or whatever is on sale!

(Although, I might try dogspits recipe!)

I usually eat Prego... 3 cheese or meat sauce...

(microwave heating works VERY well!

I use dog's method, but I add mushrooms to my sauce. I also use lots of oregano.

Thanks Spit and everyone. That sounds good that way. Don't any of you make meat balls??

I make meatballs, and I add all the other ingredients to the spaghetti, instead of putting it in the sauce. I like Hunt's tomato 'sauce' best. I don't like the paste because it's too thick. I also fry onions and add it to the spaghetti. Gotta have the meatballs.

Yes Honilov do you just use hamburer and make them up round and fry them?

Sammy, I season the hamburger and fry it in patties and then I cut it up in pieces. Mine are not in balls, but I still call them meatballs. I don't bother trying to make balls because it's harder to manage and harder to get done evenly.

Sammy, an easy way to cook meatballs w/o the mess of frying is to bake them in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes. If you have a rack that will sit in the baking pan, this is even better because the meat is sitting up off the drippings.

To the ground beef, add some breadcrumbs, an egg and some grated parmesan cheese. Hmmmm, spaghetti and meatballs, sounds like dinner tonight.

Thanks NC that sounds really good and not to hard either.

OR... add a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix to the hamburger.

I don't usually make meatballs with my sauce, since my sauce already has ground beef AND Linquica in it.

(Along with lots of garlic, oregano, thyme, etc., etc.)

Being the protective and proud Italian I am, I don't freely give my many generations old family recipe away, but if you'd really like to have it sammy, I'll email it to you. And as Marie on Raymond would say, it has a secret ingredient....love.

Please jenny do that for me my email address is listed if you don't mind..
