Weeknight Spaghetti Meat Sauce
Weeknight Spaghetti Meat Sauce
Today we are going to share our Weeknight Spaghetti Meat Sauce recipe with you! Yes, you can buy some in a jar or a can and add ground beef to it. But I really like to make my own. I like to know what all goes in it and what my family is eating. It also makes the house smell really good so that’s an added bonus. I think the longest part of this recipe is just slicing or chopping up all of the ingredients to go in it. I like to cut everything up really small (smaller that what we did here) so my kids don’t pick around everything. Just follow the easy steps below to make your own delicious sauce.
Weeknight Spaghetti Meat Sauce

That’s how easy it is to make Weeknight Spaghetti Meat Sauce! To make the meal complete, I serve this with a salad and some garlic bread. One thing, the red pepper flake will give this dish some heat. If you think it may be too hot for the little ones, you can leave it out.
