4 cups spaghetti sauce
2 cups barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 lb. cooked pork or beef, chopped
1 lb. spaghetti
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

In a medium saucepan, combine spaghetti sauce, barbecue sauce, chili powder, and brown sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

Add chopped pork or beef to sauce; cover and cook 30 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, boil spaghetti al denté and drain.

Pour the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and serve with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Note: Add crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat or try with other hearty pastas such as rigatoni or mostaccioli.
