A good friend of mine shared this delicious recipe with me. When my family gets tired of the same old spaghetti, I like to serve this dish for a change! It provides a flavorful alternative to the Italian version. It's also a great dish when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.—Mary Detweiler, Middlefield, Ohio
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey or beef (90% lean)
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (29 ounces) tomato puree
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup water
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 package (12 ounces) spaghetti, cooked and drained

1. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onions and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add the next 10 ingredients. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with spaghetti. Yield: 8 servings.
