Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step
3 mins

Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth (or water), chili powder, oregano, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

03

Step
30 mins

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

04

Step
20 mins

Break the spaghetti into thirds and add it to the pot. Ensure the pasta is mostly submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, stirring frequently.

05

Step
1 mins

Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to the pot along with the onion.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth (or water) to reach your desired consistency.
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped and stirred in at the end, adds a bright, herbaceous note.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant touch of heat.
