I just worked it out, myself, and surprised myself. Had to write it down. Ingredients:
2 (24 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce (paul newman's own preferred. never use canned tomatoes, or paste. inferior. buy it in glass.) |
1 whole white onion, peeled and diced |
1 whole bell pepper, seeded and diced (i remove the ribs) |
1/2 cup mixed vegetables, diced (a palmful of dehydrated veggie flakes will do) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
1 pinch marjoram |
1 pinch celery seed |
2 bay leaves |
3 fresh garlic cloves, pressed (or to taste) |
3 pinches salt |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
black pepper, to taste |
1 tomato, peeled, diced, drained |
2 dashes tabasco sauce |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (fresh preferred) |
1/2 lb ground chuck or 1/2 lb premium hamburger |
