My spaghetti recipe serves 6 for about $1/serving. 500g beef (just over a pound), sweet peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and tomato sauce. Yummy.
Sounds yummy!
Maters and onions are the only fruit/veggies I put in my sauce.
When I get in the mood (and have the maters) to cook sauce it is a 3 to 5 day project, which is why I do not put meat in it, that can be added later.
The amount of tomatoes I have determines if I use the 20 quart or the 33 quart stock pot. I do saute the onions and garlic in a 5 quart pot before putting them in the stock pot.
