# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 large onion, diced
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 green pepper, diced
04 - 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
05 - 907g ground chuck
06 - 400g crushed tomatoes (1 can)
07 - 400g diced tomatoes (1 can)
08 - 800g tomato sauce (2 cans)

→ Seasonings and Herbs

09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 2 tablespoons minced parsley
11 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
12 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
13 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
14 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
15 - 1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
16 - 1 teaspoon sea salt

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Drop the ground chuck into the skillet and cook it till it loses all the pink. Get rid of any grease left behind after cooking.
02 - Pour olive oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium. Toss in the chopped onions and peppers, sauté for 5–7 minutes. Toss in the garlic and let it cook until it smells amazing and barely browns.
03 - Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the browned meat. Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir everything together really well.
04 - Set the heat to low and keep the sauce on a gentle simmer for an hour. Stir it once in a while so it doesn’t stick.
05 - Take the cooked spaghetti, pour in the sauce, and mix them together until the sauce is evenly coating the noodles. Serve it warm.
06 - Boil a pot of water, add the spaghetti, and cook for about 7–8 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while it’s boiling to keep it from clumping. Drain and set aside.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Toss in some red chili flakes if you want a spicy kick.
