1/2 c. salad oil
1 large onion
1/2 c. green pepper
1/2 c. celery
1 lb. ground meat
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
dash of red pepper
2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. Tabasco
1 can cream mushroom soup
1 can cream tomato soup

Sauté first 4 ingredients until tender. Add ground meat to chopped vegetables and brown. Add salt, pepper(s), chili powder and Tabasco. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add soup(s). Simmer 30 minutes. (I let it simmer longer; seems the longer it simmers, the better it is.) Serve over spaghetti (individual servings) and top with grated cheese and Parmesan cheese (optional).

Serves 4 to 6. Can freeze. Can do ahead.
