Notes

Ground Beef : I use 93/7 ground beef when I make this. You can use whatever you want, even ground turkey, because you'll drain the grease anyways.

If using ground turkey instead of ground beef, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet when you're cooking it. Ground turkey is much leaner and needs some fat to cook in.

Serving Size : This pasta sauce makes 6 servings, with about each serving being 3/4 cup of sauce. If you are serving 2 adults and several young kids, the pasta sauce can go much further.

Crushed Tomatoes : If you're having trouble finding a 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes, just measure out 1 + 3/4 cup crushed tomatoes from a larger can.

Add Some Heat : If you want to spice up this spaghetti sauce, try adding some red pepper chili flakes.
