Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Everyone has their own method of making homemade Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, but this is the recipe I use and our family enjoys it for dinner every week!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large red onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes more if preferred
- 50 ounces spaghetti sauce (two 25 ounce jars)
- 1 pound spaghetti
Instructions
- In heavy bottom stockpot over medium high heat, brown ground beef and pork with the onion. Cook, while stirring occasionally to evenly cook, about 15-20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of cooking add the garlic and stir.
- Add all of the spices to the meat and stir. I don't add salt because the spaghetti sauce has plenty.
- Cover meat with sauce and heat over low until ready to serve.
- Cook pasta (you know how, right?) and serve with meat sauce. This is a large recipe and I usually freeze half for a future dinner.
