Christi’s Spaghetti Sauce

1 lb. Ground chuck

1 onion, chopped very fine

2 garlic cloves

½ green pepper, finely chopped

4 oz. or less fresh mushrooms, sliced

Sugar to taste

Few drops of Tabasco

few sprinkles of crushed red pepper

2 tsp. oregano

1 small tomato paste

3 to 4 cans pureed tomato

Fresh ground pepper

Sear the meat, drain and add onion, garlic, peppers and mushroom, stir till veggies get a little browned. Add the rest of the spices. Add tomato products and a little red wine along with the sugar. Adjust seasonings. Serve over al dente spaghetti. I began making this after visiting Italy. I loved the al dente noodles and the flavors in the sauce.
