Leftovers Spaghetti Sauce

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 (24 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (26 ounce) jar prego spaghetti sauce, your choice of flavor (tomato, green pepper and onion flavor is the kind i had on hand. also try tomato, onion, and garlic)
• 1 -3 clove garlic, chopped fine
• 1 lb browned ground beef
• 1/2 small white onion, chopped
• 1 -3 teaspoon granulated sugar

Recipe

• 1 i had previously browned and drained the ground beef and had it in the fridge, if you don't have this leftover, brown ground beef first in a nonstick skillet, drain off fat really well.
• 2 i use a pile of paper towels to soak up the fat.
• 3 place ground beef in a large pot.
• 4 stir in all other ingredients except the sugar.
• 5 bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• 6 turn heat down to low and simmer uncovered or covered for about 30 minutes or so to let the flavors mix, stirring occasionally.
• 7 taste the sauce now and then and add more onions or garlic to taste.
• 8 add a little sugar to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes during the simmering.
• 9 serve over hot spaghetti noodles.
• 10 the sauce should be fairly thick, not runny, so as you add in the ingredients, use more or less of the prego as needed.
• 11 if too thick, add a little water, more prego, or more stewed tomatoes with juice.
• 12 when i made mine, it was the consistency of chili.
• 13 this makes a pretty decent batch, can feed 2-4 depending on how much everyone eats in a serving.
