  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Ground Oregano
  • 1 tsp Sweet Basil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1 tsp Seasoned Pepper

  • 16oz. Tomato Sauce
  • 6oz. can Tomato paste
  • 1 cup Qater
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1lb. Elbow macaroni

Instructions

  1. In a large heavy bottomed skillet, place the Ground Sirloin, and cook until well browned, and no pink is left.
  2. Add the Butter, Onion, and Green Pepper, and cook 10 minutes on Medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the Italian Seasoning, Ground Oregano, and Sweet Basil, and stir well. Add the Garlic Salt, and Seasoned Pepper, and stir to blend.

  8. When Pasta is done, drain well, and add to the skillet of Meat Sauce. I spoon the Pasta into the sauce, so it doesn’t spill everywhere, if you try and pour it from the pot.
  9. Stir the Pasta into the sauce. Take out a small amount to taste, and make sure you don’t need to add a little salt or pepper, or other ingredients.
