DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Delicious Spaghetti Sauce image

I have tried many different spaghetti sauce recipes and never been satisfied. But I LOVE this one. I have made it many times since I first came up with it. I don't usually add the sugar because the balsamic vinegar adds some sweetness.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
3 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon beef stock powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Brown the beef in a large pot. Remove beef and drain.
  • Saute the onioin, celery and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the pot and add all the other ingredients except salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over hot spaghetti with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For a flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. This will give you a good balance of lean and fatty meat.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use bread crumbs instead of crackers: Bread crumbs will give the meatloaf a lighter texture than crackers.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf: Chopped onion, celery, and carrots will add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: This will help the meatloaf to cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the loaf, making it easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite spaghetti sauce: The rich, flavorful sauce will complement the meatloaf perfectly.

Conclusion:

This delicious meatloaf with spaghetti sauce is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknight meals. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this meatloaf a try.
