Spaghetti and meat sauce is my favorite meal...ever. I love almost any iteration of it, but this one especially is my very favorite. Which is good, because its also really, really easy. Fresh onions and garlic get sautéd with lean ground beef, hit with a generous splash of your favorite red wine, some beef bouillon, and lots of tomato sauce.
Place the onion, garlic, and ground beef in a large stock pot over medium-high heat along with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry oregano. Stir frequently and break up the meat as you brown it.
Add the olive oil, bouillon, and tomato paste into the pot. Stir well to combine, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add in water, tomato sauce, wine, and herbs.
Simmer over low heat for 30-45 minutes minimum. More is better, but not necessary. Enjoy over pasta!
Notes
This makes a lot of sauce! You'll definitely have leftovers. We do - and I feed 9 here! That is by design. I like having lunches for a few days, or leftovers for another night later in the week, or another meal to freeze.
