MEAT MIXTURE: Brown ground beef. Be sure to drain fat! In a small amount of butter or oil saute together sliced mushrooms, diced onions, bell pepper and fresh garlic. Mix well with ground beef and cook until vegetables are tender.

In a large pot put tomato sauce. Depending how large you wish your chunks of tomato to be, chop or puree your whole tomatoes and stir in with tomato sauce. Add meat mixture. Season to taste using above listed seasonings. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours for a good blend of seasonings.

Start cooking spaghetti noodles according to directions on bag about 15 to 30 minutes before serving your group. You may wish to stir in vegetable oil with cooked noodles to help prevent sticking.
