Spaghetti, almost homemade!

I just made this last night and it fed six adults and four little children with lots to spare. I know everybody has a spaghetti recipe or they are just good with opening up a bottle of prego and pouring over hot pasta. Dinner is done, right? Well, I was the same way. Then my mom showed me how to make it semi-homemade and it doesn't require a lot of work. Yeah!

Ingredients:
1 lb. cooked ground beef
Spaghetti seasoning packet
Can of diced tomatoes
1 jar of spaghetti sauce

Pull ground beef out of the freezer and defrost in the microwave. Then add to a medium to large size pot. Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of seasoning onto the beef and mix it around and let it cook for a few minutes. You can add more or less depending on how strong you want the flavor. Then add the tomatoes and let that cook for a few minutes. Stir in the jar of spaghetti sauce and heat til it starts to bubble. Serve over pasta.


Pretty dang easy, right? The best part is it freezes really well, so you can use it as another rainy day dinner when you really don't have time to cook. Plus, it has a more homemade taste to it than the basic jar can do for you. Plus, it almost doubles the recipe. More bang for your buck!
