Spaghetti Sauce

Another childhood favorite, who doesn’t love “pasghetti?!

Spaghetti Sauce

1 lb. lean ground beef (can also use half ground turkey, half ground beef)

1 small onion, chopped

½ green pepper, chopped

4-6 (8 oz.) cans of tomato sauce

1 small can of tomato paste

2 T. garlic, chopped (or ½ – 1 bulb)

2 T. Italian seasoning (more if you like)

1 oz. cube dark, unsweetened chocolate (no wonder I love this recipe!)

½ c. red wine

2 (8 oz.) cans mushroom pieces, drained

Brown ground beef in large skillet until nearly cooked through. Add onion & green pepper and cook until they are tender. Add rest of ingredients and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or transfer to slow cooker/crockpot and cook on low 3-4 hours. Serve over hot cooked spaghetti noodles. This also goes great with Cheesy French bread (recipe below).
