Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
My mom used tomato soup for just about everything, I swear. It was a base for pizza sauce, meatloaf, dinner, lunch...I have clear memories of going through tomato soup like nothing else. I use it often now too, and have made up a speggetti sauce that honors the tradition of the Merritts love of Campbells....umm umm good. It takes a bit longer than opening a jar of Prego, but, as always, is well worth the small effort. Make sure it going to cover up Whole Wheat Pasta.
Ingredients - 1 8 oz Can of Tomato Sauce
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 green pepper chopped
- A few Sweet Basil leaves or Dried Basil will do
- 1 1/2 T of Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/4 C Brown Sugar
- 1 C cooked Italian Sausage...this isn't a must, I used it because I had it, but the sauce tastes really good without it too.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Put all the ingredients into one pot and simmer on low for about an hour. I have one son who isnt' quite ready to have chunks in his sauce, so I puree everthing together when its done simmering. Pour into a nice clean dispenser and you've got a yummy homemade sauce that will leave them asking for more.
