I found this in a little paperback cookbook from long ago days, called 365 Ways to Cook Hamburger. I like it because it's a quick and easy way to make spaghetti and meatballs in one pot. I tend to use more spaghetti than called for, and I use California Bay leaves rather than the bottled ones you get at the store. I've also substituted dehydrated onion flakes in place of fresh chopped onions.
Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups water
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
8 ounces spaghetti (approximately)
Directions:
1. Mix hamburger, egg, chopped onion, bread crumbs, salt, thyme& pepper.
2. Form into meatballs and brown in dutch oven.
3. Add water, condensed cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, chopped onion, salt, pepper and bay leaf.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Add spaghetti, broken into 1/2 inch lengths.
6. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every once in a while to keep spaghetti from sticking to pan.
