MOM'S CAJUN SPAGHETTI
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.

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.
