I totally disagree with the last comment. My family has used a similar recipe for spaghetti and loves it. We are not in culinary school here we are just sharing recipes. If you have what you think is a better recipe submit it but I think the last comments were snobbish and petty. -
LOL you have to love these snobs who are "Culinary Experts"..TRUE Spaghetti Sauces with meat Simmer For HOURS and HOURS with the meat , this is what gives the sauce a great flavor..This recipe is perfectly fine for a simple sauce. To be honest, if you are a "Culinary Expert" you should have your own Spaghetti Sauce recipe anyhow, and have no need to try any other's..I cannot even imagine how horrible your sauce must taste if you throw the meat in so close to serving... Great, Simple, Tasty Recipe Tina!

This was excellent! Super easy to make & let simmer while making salad dressing & pasta. The only changes I made were to add 1/4 of a leftover onion & use a yellow pepper instead of green (what I had on hand). Thanks for a great spaghetti dinner, Tina! :) -
Excellent recipe-thank you! -
This a great and easy recipe. My whole family loved it! The only thing I did different was add one onion. Thanks Tina.

This was a good quick sauce. I had everything on hand except the green pepper. I would probably use less oregano next time but that's just personal preference. I made meatballs instead of adding ground beef. This is a great weeknight sauce.
