HOT AND SWEET SPAGHETTI SAUCE
One of the first things I made when I went out on my own at 18 and was always a favorite with my friends. Have always used this recipe with the exception of the brown sugar which my late friend Lilli suggested I add a few years later and I loved it! Always have a good memory of her when I add the brown sugar.

Steps:
- 1. With the Italian sausage still in the casing, squeeze out some of the sausage so it resembles a ball about half the size of a golf ball. Do this will all the sausage. Brown ground beef and sausage in large skillet until done. Drain off fat in a colander and return to skillet.
- 2. In a large stockpot with lid, heat 2 tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add green pepper, onion and mushrooms. Cook until slightly tender with a little crunch left in the onion and peppers. Add minced garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
- 3. Add jars of spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato paste to cooked vegetables in stockpot. Mix well. Add cooked hamburger and sausage to sauce in stockpot. Mix well.
- 4. Add brown sugar, pepper, salt, Italian seasoning and a few shakes of garlic powder to sauce. Mix well.
- 5. Reduce heat to low and cover pan with lid. Simmer over low heat,stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes, but I do mine for a few hours to let the flavors do their thing.
- 6. I use this sauce over spaghetti and for making manicotti and stuffed shells. Enjoy!!
