My mother is 1/2 Italian. This recipe was also her mother's. I have made this for so many years I have to guess on the measurements. My Mom uses a few strips of bacon along with ground beef. This served five people, with some left for the next day. Add a small amount of water, if too dry. Add lettuce with Italian dressing and a dish of fruit sauce. Cold applesauce is my favorite. Yummy! It's really great the next day! Tastes great with pumpernickel or rye bread.

How To Make mom's italian spaghetti
-
1Pre-cook pasta. Brown hamburger to half done, drain and add cut up bacon and chopped onions. Simmer, stirring to prevent burning. (My brother adds diced green bell pepper, I don't care for it as much.)
-
2Combine noodles, onion and beef, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, paste as soon as beef is cooked. Add seasonings, to taste. Simmer, covered, at least one-half hour. I usually use salt and pepper, only. Maybe a dash of Italian seasoning.
-
3If the pasta soaks up all the liquid I add more tomatoes or sauce, you may add water, a little at a time. There should be some sauce in the bottom, but the noodles SHOULD soak up much of it! There should always be some moisture. Add a small amount of water (1/2-3/4 cup) water, as necessary.
-
4If allowed to sit over-night in refrigerator it is even better. Enjoy! - Last Step: Don't forget to share!
