Spicy Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti sauce from a jar is offensive. I just can't do it unless extreme circumstances (like my uncontrollable laziness) merits the jarred stuff.

My step-grandpa is from Italy and he taught my dad, who then taught me, how to make a delicious sauce.

It's really simple and the slow-cooking process makes all the flavors melt together. Yum.

I like mine with a little kick but omit the cayenne pepper and tone down the black pepper if you want it more mild. I usually make a lot so I can put 1/2 in the fridge and the other 1/2 in the freezer so it lasts longer.

Enjoy!

 

Spicy Slow Cooked Spaghetti Sauce

• Two 26 oz cans traditional spaghetti sauce (I like the Del Monte kind)
• 1 lbs hamburger meat
• 3 TBS cooking white wine (I'm not into the real stuff)
• 1 TBS fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 TBS salt
• 1 TBS italian seasoning
• 1 TBS minced garlic
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• dash of onion powder
• dash of cayenne pepper

1. Cook up the hamburger in a skillet. Keep the excess oils for flavor.
2. In a slow cooker or large pot, combine the hamburger, spaghetti sauce, onions, garlic and spices.
3. Cook for a minimum of 3 hours.
4. Adjust spices to taste at this point. Refrigerate, freeze or serve immediately.
