This thick and hearty sauce goes a long way to fill a hungry family! says Elaine Priest from her home in Dover, Pennsylvania. Any leftovers they enjoy another day ladled over thick grilled slices of garlic bread. To make sure I have the ingredients on hand, I keep a bag of chopped green pepper in my freezer and minced garlic in my fridge-always!
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 to 3/4 cup dry red wine or beef broth
1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
1 to 2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
hot cooked spaghetti
Directions:
