Mom's Spaghetti Sauce-this is the first meal I made for Monty when we were dating. He still talks about it even though I usually make his mom's spaghetti sauce for him now. I'll post Esther's later...both good, just totally different.
3 lbs ground beef
1-2 onions (she cooked with a lot of onions...I've cut back on this quite a bit now)
28 oz. can peeled tomatoes (I'd use the diced peeled tomatoes that the stores have now...although that does take the fun out of crushing the whole tomatoes with your hands into the pot while trying to not have them squirt all over the kitchen)
28 oz. can tomato sauce
6 oz. can tomato paste
1 can sliced mushrooms
bay leaf
salt, pepper, garlic salt, oregano, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning-to taste
Brown ground beef with onions and drain away any liquid. Add other ingredients and simmer uncovered until thick. Serve over cooked spaghetti and with garlic bread. Remember...to be an authentic meal...you have to burn the first batch of garlic bread when you are toasting it under the broiler. :)
Garlic Bread
1 cube softened butter
2-3 crushed fresh garlic cloves
Mix together and spread on french bread. Sprinkle the canned parmesan cheese (you know the green Kraft brand) on top and broil until lightly browned.
