Spaghetti

Submitted By Joyce Myrtle Dodson DeSoto

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger meat
1 small pkg thin spaghetti
1 pkg Sloppy Joe seasoning mix
1 onion
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
salt to taste
pepper to taste

In a large pot put water on to boil. When boiling
add spaghetti. Cook until tender (do not overcook
or the spaghetti will be mushy) Drain the water off
spaghetti when cooked. You can add a little olive oil
to the pot as the spaghetti cooks to prevent it sticking
together. Also do not stir very much. Brown the
hamburger meat and sauté the onions. When this
mixture is cooked, add the remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook until thickened and the spaghetti is done. Pour
sauce over spaghetti and cook for a few minutes, until
well mixed and thoroughly heated again. If this is not to
your taste, add another can of tomato sauce. If you
are out of Sloppy Joy mix, you can use other spices,
such as Oregano, Parsley, Garlic, or prepackaged
Italian seasoning. Experiment and have fun!!
