mom’s spaghetti sauce


I haven’t quite worked out a vegetarian version of this yet, but I expect it would have zucchini and eggplant in it to thicken the sauce. Just leaving the meat out makes it a bit bland.

Spaghetti sauce
2 pounds hamburger
2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 bay leaves
16 oz tomato sauce
12 oz tomato paste
Cook and stir hamburger, onion, and garlic in skillet until hamburger is light brown; drain and transfer to a large pot at this point. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer covered with occasional stirring for 1 hour. Serve with hot cooked pasta.
