Southern Spaghetti Sauce – Spicy Southern Kitchen

Southern Spaghetti Sauce is a thick, flavorful sauce with a lot of floor beef, onion, and bell pepper. It has a touch of sweetness to it which actually brings out the tomato taste. Freezes nicely.

This spaghetti sauce is one in all my favourite consolation meals to make and it jogs my memory of the sauce my grandmother used to make. It was at all times a deal with once we obtained it as a result of my grandmother solely knew the right way to cook dinner two issues that I’m conscious of- spaghetti sauce and shrimp salad. It’s very thick and stuffed with floor beef, onions, and bell peppers. A hefty spoonful of sugar provides some sweetness and cuts any bitterness within the tomatoes. Two entire cans of tomato paste give it an additional intense taste.

I like this sauce a lot, I’ve been identified to skip the pasta and simply eat a bowl stuffed with sauce with a spoon. With a lot of Parmesan cheese on top- the type within the inexperienced can. Usually I want recent Parmesan on issues, however perhaps since I grew up consuming spaghetti sauce like this one with grated Parmesan out of a can, it’s simply what I crave.
