My husband is by no means a cook. But he can make killer spaghetti sauce. When we were first dating, he impressed me by cooking me dinner one evening, and it was the most delisious spaghetti sauce I have ever had. We now omit the jalopeno peppers, because our kids find it a little hot, but it is very good without too.
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 jalepeno pepper, diced (optional)
1/2 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms, or canned works too
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 cup. parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Italian seasoning (optional)
1 small can of tomato paste
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce, (he uses Catelli)
Enough cooked spaghetti for 4 people.
Recipe
Brown the ground beef, until no pink remains. Drain off fat and place into crockpot. In a smaller fry pan, saute together in olive oil, green pepper, onion, and garlic together, until tendercrisp (just to meld the flavors together). Add to crockpot. Add remaining ingredients, and stir together. Put lid on slow cooker and turn on low. Let cook for 6 to 8 hours, and serve over warm spaghetti and serve with garlic toast.
