Preparation
Step 1
Put pot on to boil for pasta and cook according to directions on package. Should finish cooking about the time the sauce is done.
Step 2
Brown beef in large frying pan with high sides. Add chopped onion after beef is browned and cook. Add pepper and Garlic ( I use powdered garlic).
Step 3
Chop peppers while beef and onions are cooking and add to pan, along with the diced tomatoes and any other veggies you are using.
Step 4
Add the seasoned spaghetti sauce and spices. Cook for 5 minutes more, covered. You should be draining the pasta by now.
Step 5
When sauce is hot and done add pasta and serve.
I have this down to 20 minutes total time from start to finish.
