How to Make Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

• In a large pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink (breaking it into small pieces as it cooks). Add green pepper, onion, and garlic; sauté for 5 minutes. 

• Add stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce; mix well.

• Stir in water, sugar, Italian seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• You can adjust the seasonings and vegetables to your tastes and preferences. 
• If you prefer spaghetti sauce that has less meat you can use ½ pound of ground beef instead of a pound. 
• If your family doesn’t like chunks of tomatoes in their sauce, be sure to use them throughout the cooking process because it adds so much flavor. Once it is cooked, you can remove the stewed tomato skins before serving them. 
• This is made with ground beef, but you can use ground sausage, ground turkey, or ground venison if you prefer. The flavor will change based on the type of meat that you use. 
• Double the recipe if you are feeding a crowd.

Can I make this without meat?

Yes, you can make this homemade spaghetti sauce without meat. If you opt to make it without meat it will change the consistency and flavor of the sauce.

Can I use any type of tomatoes?

I recommend using stewed tomatoes because they are cooked in seasonings and are softer and sweeter than using canned tomatoes. You can use any kind of tomato if you prefer, but it will alter the flavor.
