About 1 hour before serving:

In 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, green pepper and garlic until meat is browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar, salt, oregano, pepper, tomato paste and tomatoes with their liquid; over high heat, heat to boiling, stirring to break up tomatoes. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 45 minutes.

About 15 minutes before sauce is done, prepare spaghetti as label directs. Drain. Serve sauce over spaghetti. Makes 10 accompaniment or 4 main-dish servings.
