Deddy's Spaghetti

In keeping with the theme of foods that are celebrated during October, and with one of those foods being pasta, I'd like to share the following original spaghetti recipe.
I've made this simple spaghetti recipe for years, and it was always one of my daughter's favorites. She called it, "Deddy's Spaghetti."

Deddy's Spaghetti

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

One 16-oz package spaghetti

One green bell pepper, coarsely chopped

One small onion, coarsely chopped

Two 23.75-oz jars pasta sauce (I use Prego Chunky Garden Combo)

One 26.5-oz can spaghetti sauce

2 small cans mushrooms stems and pieces, drained

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp garlic powder

Garlic salt, to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

1. Prepare spaghetti according to package directions.

2. Meanwhile, lightly coat a large saucepan with cooking spray. Add beef and vegetables to prepared pan and cook over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp tender; drain in colander.

3. Return beef mixture to saucepan and add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and garlic salt. Add mushrooms, pasta sauses and spaghetti sauce. Mix well and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for a few minutes.

4. Drain prepared spaghetti in colander and return to pot. Pour hot beef and sauce mixture over spaghetti; mix well. Top servings with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers (spaghetti is even better the next day.)
