CHIEF BOY HARDLY’S SPAHGETTI SAUCE

CHIEF BOY HARDLY’S SPAHGETTI SAUCE

By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Gloria Pitzer’s Cookbook – Best Of The Recipe Detective (Balboa Press; Jan. 2018, p. 73). [A revised reprint of Gloria Pitzer’s Better Cookery Cookbook (Secret Recipes^TM, St. Clair, MI; May 1983, 3^rd Edition).]

The nice thing about this is that the sauce is ready when the spaghetti is. It takes about 8-10 minutes to prepare it.

INGREDIENTS:

6 ounces each: V-8 Juice, canned tomato paste, and water

2 cans (10 ounces each) tomato soup

1 envelope dry onion soup mix

¼ cup bottled Italian Salad Dressing

1 tablespoon each: soy sauce and sugar (or artificial sweetener equivalent)

2 tablespoons oil

1-lb. ground chuck

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put [first 8 ingredients] into your blender, as listed, on high speed for 20 seconds or until well-blended. You can also use an electric [hand] mixer. Put oil & ground chuck in a 10-inch skillet on medium-high heat, stirring the beef until the pink color disappears and mashing it with the back of a fork until it resembles rice.

Pour the blender mixture into the pan, keeping heat at medium and stirring frequently until ready to ladle over hot, drained (but NEVER rinsed) spaghetti. Sufficient to accommodate a 1-lb box thin spaghetti or Vermicelli. Serves 4.
