Rachelle's Spaghetti Sauce

I love Spaghetti and have been creating this recipe from one I learned over a year ago. I like to make it my own. The original was from Kris's Grandma Doman, Kris's mom showed me how to make it in 2009 and I have changed some of the ingredients and added some! :)

Ingredient

1/2 tsp. butter
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 pound hamburger
1 (10.75 oz) can Tomato Soup
1 (15 oz) can Tomato Sauce
1 (7.3 oz) can Sliced Mushrooms
2 tsp Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Basil leaves
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/2 tsp. Ground Thyme
1/2 tsp. Parsley Flakes
1/2 Cup water


Preparation

Saute onions and celery in the butter. Then add in raw hamburger to the onions and celery. When hamburger is almost all cooked add in Basil, Garlic Powder, Oregano, Ground Thyme, Parsley Flakes. Let it cook for a few minutes while stirring to help the flavors blend. Then add Tomato Soup, Tomato Sauce, Brown Sugar and sliced mushrooms and water. Let boil until it is the consistency that you like.

Super Easy Spicy Joes!

I love fast and super easy recipes, one of my favorites is from the Campbells Soup recipes. The combination of ingredient doesn't sound very good but it is actually very tasty!!

Ingredients

1 Pound Hamburger
1 can Tomato Soup
1 cup picante Sauce (medium)
1 cube of Chipotle
Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

Brown the hamburger and then add the rest of the ingredients except the cheese. Then serve over  1/2 of a  hamburger bun and top with cheese.

The chipotle cubes I have to special order but it is really good even with out it.

1/2 cup Spicy Joe mix               160.0  Cal
1/2 Hamburger bun                     90.0  Cal
2 tbs Cheese                               41.5  Cal

Total for the meal is      291.5 Cal

Sometimes to make it less I leave the cheese off and it is still really good! The actually recipe calls for chunky salsa but I just use the regular so it depends on how thick you want your Spicy Joe sauce to be!
