HINRICHSEN'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE By Ronda Hinrichsen

My husband has developed this family favorite to perfection. So much so, that to us "spaghetti" without this sauce isn't spaghetti!

Hinrichsen's Spaghetti Sauce

1 lb. hamburger
½ lb ground sausage (optional)
1 or 2 green onions, chopped
1 small can mushrooms
(5) 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
(1) 6 oz. can tomato paste
3-4 garlic cloves (pressed) or ¼ - ½ tsp. garlic powder
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
1½ tsp. smoke sauce
¼ tsp. red pepper
salt and pepper to taste

1.   Brown hamburger, onion and pressed garlic.
2.   Pour into crock pot then add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
3.   Slow cook for 2 or 3 hours.

Note: all seasonings can be adjusted to taste.  In fact, the above measurements are only approximate because we make this sauce so frequently we simply "eyeball" the amounts. Good luck and happy eating!
