Easy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Step 1

To a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, set to medium-high heat, and add ground beef. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent.

Step 2

Add tomato paste and garlic, cooking for 1 minute. Add in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir.

Step 3

Using the empty can of the 15-ounce tomato sauce, fill it with water. Pour into the sauce and stir. Turn heat to low, and place the lid on the pot at a half-angle. Simmer the spaghetti sauce for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thick.

Step 4

To serve, cook spaghetti or your favorite pasta, top with sauce, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Enjoy!
