One Skillet Spaghetti
3/4 lb ground round or chuck (may substitute 1/4 lb Italian sausage for 1/4 lb. of the beef!) 3 stalks celery, chopped 2 green onions, chopped 1 14 1/2 oz. can stewed Italian Tomatoes 2 8 oz. cans Italian style or Garlic tomato sauce 1/4 tsp oregano 1 4 oz. can drained mushroom, sliced or stems and pieces 1 cup hot water 4 oz. thin spaghetti, broken in 3rds
Brown beef and or sausage, add hot water, tomatoes, tomato sauce, celery, onions, mushrooms, oregano. Stir and mix in skillet , until everything is incorporated well, then add broken spaghetti. ( I add about a tbsp of olive oil after the spaghetti keeps it from sticking together, and stir well again) Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with garlic bread and a nice salad and that's all there is to it. Makes a fast meal, easy to put together, all food groups covered. Plus you can add garlic if you like it a little more heavily flavored or I add extra oregano and garlic.
