MOM'S CAJUN SPAGHETTI



Mom's Cajun Spaghetti image

This is the spaghetti sauce I grew up eating. While we are not considered Cajun, my father's family does have a Cajun backgroud. The measurements in this recipe are pretty much estimates, because seasoning will depend on preference, but it does give you some sort of guideline. Also, I am giving you quantities for canned and frozen veggies, but fresh can be used in equal quantities to make this even better.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, your choice (plenty of recipes for this right here on Zaar)
salt and pepper
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 cups okra, sliced (frozen or fresh)
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms
8 ounces spaghetti, cooked

Steps:

  • Cook meat and onion until meat is no longer pink.
  • Add seasonings, tomatoes, okra and mushrooms, cover and cook on low for approximately 30 minutes.
  • We like this spicy, so I usually add more cajun seasoning than this recipe calls for.
  • Also, the longer this sits, the better it gets.
  • Serve over cooked spaghetti.
