Spaghetti

[Riverbound]

One of the things I make all the time that takes little time but is always a hit is my spaghetti. I made some last night and figured I would post up here about it.

One of the things I do when Im at the River is make the sauce in a crock pot instead of a pot on the stove so we can leave it cook on low all day without having to worry about it. One of the last things you want to do after a long day of doing what we do is cook.

First step is to get sauce, Im not picky as to what sauce as I will be seasoning it later. This time I used Prego sauce from Costco. And dump in large pot.

Nex step is to grab 2-3 beers, I have found that your cheap beers work better as they have a stronger flavor. I will use the first one "rinse" out remaining sauce that was in container so you get all of it. The third beer usually works great to drink while you are making the sauce

I like lots of mushrooms in my sauce so 2-3 cans of mushrooms willl do.

I then dump in 2 small cans of tomatoe paste to thicken the sauce up a bit.

Now comes the good part of the sauce.

First thing to add is meatballs. I have found these at Costco and they are delicious. The are pre-cooked so just dump them in. (I only use half of the package, they come in 2 seperate sealed packages)

Then I use about a pound of Italian sausage, slice it up and then fry it up in pan with olive oil and minced Garlic. **If the sausage is slightly froze it makes it much easier to slice**

Then I add a pound of Either hamburger or Turkey fry it up in the same pan as the sausage and add to the sauce.

So once all the above ingredients are in the pot, Its time to season the sauce to your liking. I tend to cook with a LOT of Garlic and I also prefer my sauce a little on the spicy side.

Here are the seasonings I used on this particular Batch.

I fed close to 10 people last night and there is still some left over. One of the things I do at the River is bag the left over Sauce and freeze it. That way At a later trip I can throw the frozen sauce on the stove and cook up some noodles for a quick 3am post bar meal :thumbsup

Prego???? Serious? uke: If your gonna go that far to change the taste with your own seasoning just start out with plain canned tomato sauce. It make actually taste better.

I have tried it every which way, Expensive sauce, tomatoe sauce, etc.. The sauce is just a base, The nice thing about prego/Ragu is that it already contains the sugar to lessen the acidity The nice thing about this is you can change the ingredients to suit your tastes. for example I used to only use Hamburger and pork sausage. I have lightened it up a bit by using turkey and Chicken mainly and wheat Pasta :thumbsup

I have to admit that was pretty funny. As soon as my doc gets my back feeling better remind me that I owe you a jab to the chin. And say hi to your and my son while your at it.

My suace is pretty much the same. Change is I use bell pepper and onion, no shrooms.

And I rinse out the bottle with wine instead of beer.

Honestly my bulging discs and pain from them in my back have caused me to be a lot more irritable than my newborn. So pardon me for being a Jerk!!!! LOL!!! <----(note smiley)

lol...Child support is due on Friday:swear

You need to do that jacuzzi.....Good for the back and the marriage since you won't be able to get away for a real night out for a while. Little wine,margaritas or some beers in the cuzzi and the wife is guaranteed to happily give it up

Trust me I like spagetti way more than I like Bildo so its all good...lol:skull

I don't understand the upside down bit though?

I always tell you I will help and then you just do it on your own. Your house is no where near the ghetto. The parking sucks but I will drink beer there any time.

I need to get up there and see the kid. Last time jen went I was neck deep in Aligators and greasy projects.

I wish I had the easy of an excuse.....

I was probably under 4000lbs of American steel getting angry at the brakes or working on a trailer or rhino getting ready for a trip.

I'm pretty good now.....until the next project (house/truck):bash::blah:

We have a large Crock pot at the River I use. At home I just cook it on the stove in a big pot.

Thanks for keeping the thread on track:thumbsup

 

[PVHCA]

In the near future I maybe making another appearance at Apache Loop, you missed out on my cooking last trip so I'll give ya a heads up before hand.

Your sauce seems palatable for non Italians, LOL!! No I'm sure it's great. One thing I never do is knock someone else's cooking.

My point is I'm gonna make the crew Chicken Parm the next trip out so be ready!!

Dude busted my ass on a plain deep fried turkey. He is serious about his opinion!

That pre made shit rocks when you at all that meat!

 

[soupersonic]

My wife makes sauce in a similar fashion but she adds chunks of stick pepperoni in it :thumbsup
