MY HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI MEAT SAUCE RECIPE | SO TASTY

today we're having my spaghetti meat sauce it's different a crowd pleaser and when you taste it for the first time you're gonna say to yourself where has this been all my life I started by chopping half of a large yellow onion but you may use a medium or two small ones I prefer to use the yellow onion in this dish because of its potent flavor I use sweet onion in dishes where it's going to be eaten raw but you may use any onion that you like then I chopped half of a large green bell pepper that white part is the pith it's edible but tasteless in my opinion so I always remove it green bell pepper is perfect for this recipe but you may use any bell pepper or a combination of bell peppers for a more colorful dish I placed an 11 inch saute pan on medium heat but a large saucepan would have been fine too I'm going to Brown about a pound and a quarter of ground beef I like to use Ground Round for this recipe which has 15 percent fat or lean ground beef I don't like to use ground turkey because it has more fat than I need here when the ground beef browned a little I added the chopped onion and gave it a good stir and since I'm using ground round there is no need to drain the fat the amount here is perfect to help me saute the next few ingredients after I saute the onion a little bit I added three garlic cloves I think grated garlic is better but if you prefer to chop it that's fine garlic gives this dish such a good flavor if I could only use five ingredients fresh garlic would definitely be one of them then I added the chopped green bell pepper and it's starting to smell so good in here already I used to bring this dish to work and even my vegetarian friend liked it if that's not saying something now I'm going to start adding the dry ingredients 2 tablespoons of onion powder two tablespoons of garlic powder and one tablespoon of paprika and stir it well to start incorporating all those awesome flavors add two tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning one teaspoon of Italian seasoning freshly ground black pepper to taste and continue to stir it all up I added one quarter cup of water to get all the little bits of seasoning off of the bottom of the pan and I make sure I don't burn the seasoning before adding the water I opened up a spot in the center of the pan and added two teaspoons of tomato paste I like to fry my tomato paste to bring out its flavor I don't just add it when it's all Saucy in there frying it makes it for a much more flavorful sauce now it's time to add the beef bouillon Cube I use the larger ones my favorite brand to use in Saucy soups and stews is nor its gummy texture makes the sauce creamier and I fry it as well with the help of about three tablespoons of water I am only using one beef bouillon for now because of its high sodium content but later on after I taste the sauce I'll adjust it to my liking once Incorporated I added two packs of sodium free granulated beef bouillon to add a little bit more beef flavor without the salt it really enhances this sauce you're gonna know when you taste it at the end every ingredient plays an important role and as always add a little bit more water to it about three tablespoons of it and stir it well to combine all of those beautiful flavors now it's time to add one tablespoon of unsalted butter it gives the sauce more flavor and creaminess I added two tablespoons of ketchup it's an important ingredient and really makes a difference so I wouldn't skip it after incorporating the ketchup I added one teaspoon of yellow mustard it's as important to hear as ketchup then I added half a teaspoon of red wine vinegar it's not much but it makes a big difference here and in go the four tomatoes that I peeled seeded and pureed earlier you don't have to use fresh tomatoes you may use a couple of 14 and a half ounce cans of petite diced tomatoes crushed or is two Tomatoes you may also use canned tomato sauce or a combination to keep things simple and nothing makes more of a mess than tomato sauce cooking on a stove right so I keep it on low to low medium Heat I am going to show you how I peeled my tomatoes first add core them or just cut around the stem end like this I cut an X in the bottom of each tomato just deep enough to penetrate the skin I carefully placed each tomato into boiling water with the help of my skimmer and let them simmer for one minute I removed them from the hot water and immediately placed them into an ice water bath and let them sit in the ice water until they were cool enough to handle after that I just peel them away see how easily their skin comes off and there is no waste here I cut them in half like this and Spoon the seeds out the best I could right into a bowl because I can't stand tomato seeds and preserve that for later I chopped them up just to show you how I do it but there is no secret here chop them as big or small as you like or even blend them like I did then just put your tomatoes in a different Bowl not the one with the seeds no way the one with the seeds is right here and I'm going to strain it and put the juice in a bowl with the tomatoes I can't waste all that wonderful tomato juice I know it's extra work but I like using fresh tomatoes in this sauce and sometimes I use six large chopped Roma tomatoes I added two bay leaves and hit them well but later don't forget to remove them because nobody deserves to eat bay leaves now the sauce is getting a better consistency and have I mentioned how good it smells in here I added two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese I'm going to taste the sauce at the end if I feel like it needs more salt I will add more of the flavorful ingredients that contain salt like parmesan cheese all-purpose seasoning beef bouillon ketchup and mustard I start with caution and add more at the end if I need to and last but not least I add two to three teaspoons of white granulated sugar it helps break the acidity from a few of the ingredients add taste the sauce and see if it needs any adjustments I cover the pan and let the sauce simmer while I cook the pasta I added lots of water to a large pot let it start boiling and added as much salt as I wanted my pasta to tastes like I stir the salt around cover the pan and let the water come to a full boil which didn't take long I added three quarters of a pound of thin spaghetti sometimes I break it in half I like it either way and there's no need to add oil to the water all you have to do is Stir your pasta a lot and it's going to be fine let it cook for about 10 minutes or until your favorite Donuts while the pasta Cooks it's important to check on the sauce and stir it a couple of times this is a recipe I developed years ago and one of the reasons why I started this channel it is going to wow you and everyone else who tastes it so I hope you give it a try and let me know how you like it I checked to see if the pasta is done to my liking and now it's plating time our pasta meat sauce already my friends it's a labor of love there are quite a few ingredients in these magnificent sauce but you probably already have most of them in your pantry and fridge so how do you like to serve your pasta and meat sauce sometimes I like to pour the sauce all over it sprinkle with even more grated Parmesan cheese because I can never get enough of it and then I garnish with fresh cilantro I also like to just chop some cilantro leaves and add them to my plate fresh cilantro complements the sauce so well but you may also use fresh parsley fresh basil or whatever you like hot sauce is good with this dish too just saying delicious succulent picture perfect Pasta every time some of you might prefer to add your pasta straight into the pan with the sauce the only wrong way to eat pasta is the way you
