Easy Homemade Spaghetti Meat Sauce

• by Judi on Sep 10, 2007

A meaty spaghetti sauce that’s easy to make and full of flavor.

1 pound ground beef, give or take a little
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 bell pepper
1/2 a small onion
1 clove garlic or 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp cilantro
1 tsp basil
1 bay leaf - optional

1. In a pot, brown ground beef - our grocery story tends to make the packages of ground beef either lighter or heavier than a pound (intention, I know).. so I just go with whatever they have that’s closest.

2. In a separate pan, saute pepper and onion until soft and slightly browned.

3. Add garlic, cilantro and basil. Stir a bit, then add in the ground beef.

4. Add tomato sauce and bay leaf.

5. Cover and let simmer 30 minutes.

We like this over thick bread, with or without spaghetti!

Yummmmy!
