Mom's Spaghetti

I stole this from Mom's Make-a-Mix cookbook too. Bwa-ha! You can also use the spaghetti seasoning for a killer lasagna.

Spaghetti Seasoning Mix

1 tbsp. instant minced onion
1 tbsp. parsley flakes
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. green pepper flakes (optional)
1 ½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb. ground beef
16 oz. tomato sauce
6 oz. tomato paste
½ c. tomato juice/water
1 pkg. Spaghetti Seasoning Mix (see above recipe)

  1. I gave this one a try. Is there a secret to getting spaghetti sauce to thicken? This and pretty much everything else I try turns out thinner than I'd like. Any ideas?

  2. Try more cornstarch or reduce the amount of water you use. If you simmer it, that will slowly thicken it, but that may take a while if it's really thin.
