SPICY SPAGHETTI WITH OKRA

Spicy Spaghetti with Okra image

The best spaghetti with okra you'll ever taste! Although it's not technically a Cuban dish, I did create the recipe and it is half my nationality. Beware that it is a little on the spicy side. Great with garlic or French bread.

Ingredients

3 pounds ground beef
2 (24 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 (16 ounce) package frozen sliced okra
5 cooked sausages, sliced
1 cup water
1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (5 ounce) bottle hot sauce (such as Cholula®), or to taste
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
1 (4.5 ounce) jar minced garlic
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
2 (16 ounce) packages spaghetti
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine spaghetti sauce, okra, sausage, water, mushrooms, hot sauce, onion, bell peppers, garlic, and olives in a large pot; bring to a simmer. Rinse ground beef and add to the pot. Continue to simmer for at least 1 hour.
While sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Spread spaghetti on serving plates. Cover each with some Cheddar cheese. Add some sauce and top with Parmesan cheese.
