Alice Jo's Spaghetti Sauce

Hey, welcome back y'all to International Meals today

And as promised, I've got my ground beef brown while y'all are away

Now I've got about an extra pound here that I'm not going to need for our spaghetti sauce

So I'm going to pull out about a pound, leaving us approximately a pound and a half

because we're going to use this in a few minutes in another dish

All right, now to our ground beef, I'm going to add one onion that's been chopped

one green bell pepper, one clove of minced garlic

and we're just going to saute that off just for a couple of minutes

The name of this spaghetti sauce is Alice Jo's spaghetti sauce. This is what Alice Jo

cooks for the seniors at the church. Everybody has their own way of making spaghetti. I have

my own personal way the way I like to make it And you know it just one of those dishes that you can personalize and make your own but today we going to do it Alice Jo way

Now to this, I'm going to add a tablespoon of Italian seasoning

Miss Alice Jo puts in two tablespoons of sugar, which I don't normally do when I make spaghetti

and I'm going to use a tablespoon of Worcestershire. All right, now I'm going to add two six-ounce cans of tomato paste

All right, now I'm going to add a can of diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes

All right, now I'm going to put a little bit of salt

I'm going to add a can of tomato sauce. and then I'm gonna add a cup of water

and I'm just gonna clean out that tomato sauce bowl by pouring my water over in there

and just rinsing all of that sauce out of there. So I gonna bring this back to a roll and boil and then I gonna cover it and I gonna let it simmer for about 30 minutes So I got another pot ready down here So I just gonna take this lid and cover that

So you can see what our spaghetti sauce looks like after simmering for 30 minutes

It's rich, thick, just loaded with flavor. All right, our noodles should be ready

And I'm using a box pasta, y'all. And I'm just going to drain this

A few shakes, and back in the pot it goes. Oh, it's so good

And Miss Alice Jo takes some of her sauce and tosses everything together

Oh, it looks so yummy. Okay. Now to plate this I got my spaghetti spoon These are wonderful if you don have one of these you want to see that you get you one You can buy them at the grocery store

you know, in that section where they have different utensils. Okay. All right, now I'm going to just add

some extra sauce to that. Mmm. All right, that just looks perfectly yummy

I'm going to just dust it with a little Parmesan cheese. And I've got a little mozzarella salad over here

and some French bread to go with it. Mm. Look how yummy

I can't hardly wait to taste it. And I'm gonna put some butter on it

and eat it the way I like it. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. Mmm

That fixed it right up, Alice Jo. You forgot that stick of butter, honey
