HI Folks, I LOVE Mom's Spaghetti sauce, but it's really expensive! Does anyone have a recipe which is equivilant?
Thanks, Wendy

I'm not familiar with Mom's spaghetti, but here is my recipe. It takes some time, but not much attention, particularly if you oven cook the sauce.


Spaghetti Sauce


3 Tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
3 cans (28 oz) crushed tomatoes in puree
2 cans (28 oz) tomato sauce
1 Tbs Oregano
1 Tbs Basil
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp Marjoram
½ tsp Rosemary
½ tsp Thyme
½ tsp Tobasco
2 dash Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste – canned tomatoes have a lot of salt, taste after cooking many hours, adjust if needed
1 pinch cayenne
1 lb lean hamburger
1 packages (12 oz) Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage
2 can (4 oz drained) mushrooms – to taste -fresh are better - saute in olive oil and butter then add

Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Add tomatoes, sauce, and spices. Simmer for 6 hours, using wire between burner and pot to help prevent burning. Stir occasionally. Brown hamburger and sausage, drain. Add to sauce. Add mushrooms. Simmer for 2 more hours. Skim fat. Better if frozen before serving.


Note: can be cooked for shorter time.

It is easier to cook large pots in the oven – it cannot burn and it gets even heat.
Start at 350, reduce to 300 after it comes to a boil.
