Sorry for the lack of updates, our little bean arrived on November 15th and we have been a little busy, as you can tell by the messy table below. This post is written and done by Adam…
Well the other day Carrie asked me to make some home made Spaghetti Sauce. Fortunately we were in the grocery store at the time so we picked up the needed ingredients there. This really turned out a lot better then I thought it could and Carrie was really happy with it.
Adam’s Spaghetti Sauce (From: Adam)

- 1lb hamburger or Sausage
- 1 Medium Onion or 2 small Shallots
- 1 Package whole or sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 large Can of Tomato Sauce
- 1 Medium Can of Diced Tomatoes
- 1/4 C (give or take) of Tomato Paste
- 1 T. Basil
- 1 T. Oregeno
- 1 T Ground Fennel Seed
Brown hamburger in a dutch oven, when it is close to being brown add shallot or onion.
Use about half the container of mushrooms, slice into cubes. Drain the oil and fat and make the meat pretty dry.
Add tomato sauce, diced tomato, and tablespoon of tomato paste. Just enough to thicken the sauce.
Turn the heat down to low, you don’t want to burn it and a dutch oven works great to keep it just shy of boiling at almost any heat. Cover and let simmer. After simmering for an hour or so add spices to taste
Simmer for a couple hours 3-5 best.
Make with Spaghetti noodles or another think style of noodle and enjoy.
