leftovers  spaghetti sauce

i love eating ground beef in my spaghetti sauce. here's another recipe i made up, this time with leftovers i had in the fridge and also what i had on hand in the pantry. we were on a tight budget at the time, so i just threw a bunch of stuff together and it came out quite good and my husband enjoyed it too again, my measurements are all estimated, i apologize.

Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
stewed tomatoes
prego spaghetti sauce
garlic
ground beef
white onion
granulated sugar

Steps:
i had previously browned and drained the ground beef and had it in the fridge , if you don't have this leftover , brown ground beef first in a nonstick skillet , drain off fat really well
i use a pile of paper towels to soak up the fat
place ground beef in a large pot
stir in all other ingredients except the sugar
bring to a boil , stirring occasionally
turn heat down to low and simmer uncovered or covered for about 30 minutes or so to let the flavors mix , stirring occasionally
taste the sauce now and then and add more onions or garlic to taste
add a little sugar to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes during the simmering
serve over hot spaghetti noodles
the sauce should be fairly thick , not runny , so as you add in the ingredients , use more or less of the prego as needed
if too thick , add a little water , more prego , or more stewed tomatoes with juice
when i made mine , it was the consistency of chili
this makes a pretty decent batch , can feed 2-4 depending on how much everyone eats in a serving
love is in the air  beef fondue   sauces

i think a fondue is a very romantic casual dinner or wonderful for after the theatre snack served with a robust red wine. for dinner serve with rice & a small salad. almond rice pilaf is a great accompaniment (recipe posted separately ) to cook the meat you must first heat your oil - i do this by heating it to almost boiling on the stove and then transfering it to your fondue burner. buy good quality meat i recommend only using a fillet. have at least 3 sauces. if you want to serve 4-6 people just increase the meat to 2 lbs there will be enough sauce.these sauce recipes came from
