My family loves spaghetti, so at least everytime they ask for it, I would have to cook it. My kids don’t eat spaghetti outside our house, they only like Mommy’s version. That’s how picky they are. And I also need to put a whole package of hotdogs since they fight over it.

Ingredients:

1 lb. of thin spaghetti (Barilla)
1 jar (big plastic one)Ragu spaghetti sauce (tomato, garlic and onion flavor)
1 package of hotdogs
1 lb. ground beef (ground pork can be used too)
1/2 tsp. basil leaves (ground)
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
3 slices of cheese
1 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar
a pinch of MSG (optional)

Direction:

1. Brown the ground beef until it’s cooked, add the hotdogs and cook for at least 2 minutes. (You can boil water for noodles at the same time)Cook the noodles according to your desired tenderness.

2. Pour the spaghetti sauce, ground pepper, cheese, basil, brown sugar and the MSG and let it boil.

3. When it’s boiling, turn the heat to medium. Season to your taste.

4. You can mix the sauce and the noodles together, or you can pour the sauce over the noddles as you serve it with Parmesan cheese.

Makes 5-6 servings.
