Answer 2

NICK'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

olive oil
1/2 pkg jimmy dean spicy hot sausage
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 chopped yellow onion
1 small can mushroom stems and pieces, diced
1 large can hunts brand spaghetti sauce with mushrooms
1 large can hunts brand spaghetti sauce with meat
2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut on ends
Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 dash salt (to taste)
1 dash sugar (to taste)

Heat some olive oil in bottom of a large kettle then, add sausage and beef together and brown meat.

Then add the chopped onions and the mushrooms and saute to cook down and remove excess moisture.

When the onions get transparent and have cooked down add cans of sauce and seasonings. Then reduce heat to a low simmer and cook till small boil point. Careful to stir continually so as not to burn the sauce on the bottom of pan.

Serve over your favorite pasta or use for manicotti or lasagna.

Answer 3

Got bacon and eggs? Make carbonara. Fry bacon until crisp,and drain on paper towel, cook spaghetti, while the spaghetti is cooking, break eggs in to a bowl and beat like you would for scrambled eggs, set aside when the pasta is done drain and immediately return to the pan and pour the eggs in and add atleast 1/4 cup of parmesean cheese stirring will cook the egg, add the crumbled bacon and some parsley (just for color) and eat. I usually use 2 eggs per serving of pasta. Serve with salad and bread. One of my families favs.
