My Signature Dish

 Every Good Cooker has one or more signature dishes. Mine happens to be my spaghetti sauce . This is the dish my family said I should make and market. I didn't of course,but I was happy they said so.Below is the recipe for the spaghetti sauce.The key thing is to cook it gently for 4 hours.The proportion is important.Most spaghetti sauces depend on too much tomato sauce and not enough meat.

                   Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
                                          1 large yellow onion diced
                                          1 medium green pepper diced
                                          4 cloves of garlic diced
                                          1 tbsp olive oil
                                          8 oz of button mushrooms cleaned and sliced
                                          2 28 oz cans of tomato sauce
                                          1 14 1/2 oz petite diced tomatoes
                                          1 1/2 tbsp dried Italian seasoning

                   Preparation: Saute onions,green pepper,garlic and
                                          mushrooms in olive oil until soft.
                                          Add ground beef and continue to saute
                                          until beef is browned.
                                          Add tomato sauce and diced tomatoes
                                          bring to a simmer.
                                          Add Italian seasoning
                                          Simmer for 4 hours

 Remember to adjust the recipe for your families taste.I could usually sneak by with the onions because the are not visible after 4 hours of cooking.Mushrooms not so much.As my kids grew up I  could add mushrooms.
