Originally from Mom's spaghetti recipe, and I have morphed it into something totally different over the years. Everyone loves it, and I get requests often! I never measure, so guessing at the spice measurements - start with less if you like, you can always add more!

How to make it
- In large electric skillet or stovetop pot
- Brown ground beef with spices, onion, and garlic and seasonongs. (except bay leaf)
- When all pink color has disappeard drain meat in paper towel-lined colander, if needed (usually don't need to drain the 93% lean) Add tomaotoes, sauce and paste.
- Stir together
- Add bay leaf
- Stir in olives if using
- cover, reduce heat and simmer approx. 2 hours, (or transfer to crockpot and cook on low all day) stirring ocasionally I use the lid, but leave it offset just slightly so that it will reduce well and help alleviate splatters!
- May add small amounts water, beef stock or chicken stock if liquid is needed. May also add another can of tomatoes for liquid.
- Cook pasta according to package directons,
- Drain and Rinse
- While pasta is cooking, saute mushrooms in butter, evoo, and white wine worcestershire
- Top each serving with mushrooms and fresh parmesan/ramono cheese
- Serve with good italian garlic bread and salad
- ** If you don't care for black olives or mushrooms, just leave them out. You will still enjoy the sauce. : ) **

Made Lori's sauce, but used half hot sausage and half ground beef. Sublime, love the olives and mushrooms.

Lori....this was FANTASTIC! Jim went back for seconds...and that's a first when he's eating spaghetti! :) Of course I'm a huge olive fan, so that ingredient was a plus but it'd be totally excellent if someone wanted to leave that out. What makes this...more
