NOT-SO-SECRET SPAGHETTI SAUCE (SORRY, MOM!) image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 jar of inexpensive (!) spaghetti sauce
1 lb ground turkey or ground beef
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb sausage (Italian is great)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 small onion
1 can mushrooms
1 clove garlic, crushed (optional)
Seasonings:
seasoned salt
garlic powder
a hefty dash of chili powder
another big dash of Italian seasoning
1-2 teaspoons olive oil (although you can use butter or margarine if you'd prefer)

Steps:

Saute the chopped onion, clove of garlic and mushrooms in olive oil. Empty the jar of cheap spaghetti sauce into pot. Add sugar and parmesan to the sauce and let cook on low. Move onions and mushrooms when done over to the pot of sauce *Do not drain the skillet!* Brown all of the meat together, seasoning the MEAT heavily and add to the sauce when browned. This can be served immediately or left on simmer heat all day, just stirring occasionally. Great for crockpots, too!
