Spaghetti Sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes, Italian style or regular, or crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 c. diced onion (I cook mine along with the ground beef)
ground beef
1/2 pkg spaghetti seasoning
1/2 T sugar, or to taste
1 can tomato soup (I use sometimes to use up food storage and to give smooth consistency)
any other seasonings or veggies you want to throw in. I like to cook the ground beef and then throw it all in the crock pot for a few hours.
My kids love spaghetti. It is O's and I's favorite meal; maybe the only one O eats! We eat it with cottage cheese. May sound strange, but we all love it.

We got this from you and mitch and I love it the most. I actually used a whole thing of cream cheese (just didn't want half hanging around in the fridge) and it worked just fine since i spread it out and kindof poked the layers down so it was more mixed instead of layered.
good comment. Thanks. I know- I think I'd double the cream sauce next time because I'm always picking the piece with the most white and less noodles.
