Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup diced carrot

  • 1 envelope beef and onion dry soup mix

  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme

  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti

Directions

  1. Cook and stir ground beef in large pot over high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, water, carrot, onion soup mix, granulated garlic, oregano, basil, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Turn sauce down to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
