ALL-AT-ONCE SPAGHETTI

"Works like a charm, this new recipe! You cook your meat, onions, and your spaghetti, all in the same pot - in Hunt’s Tomato Sauce."

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large onion. chopped
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Ground black pepper (to taste)
2 cans (8-oz. each) Hunt’s Tomato Sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 lb. uncooked spaghetti (half of an 8.oz. package)
Grated cheese (for serving)

Heat oil in deep pot or skillet. Add onion, cook until soft.

Crumble in beef. Stir and fry until meat loses red color. Sprinkle salt and pepper over.

Pour in Hunt’s Tomato Sauce and water: bring to boil. Break spaghetti in half: sprinkle in a little at a time, stirring it into sauce to keep it separated. Cover tightly. Simmer 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve with cheese.

Dear Michelle,

I'm sure your Grandmother would be happy to know that you have such fond memories of her cooking. I hope this recipe is similar to the one you remember. You can substitute mushrooms for the ground beef. If you use fresh mushrooms, saute them after the onion. If you use canned mushrooms, drain them and add with the sauce. If the sauce isn't as sweet as you remember you can add a small amount of sugar (gradually, to taste).

Happy Cooking!

Betsy
