This was great and very easy! It tasted very similar to a good bottled spaghetti sauce but I didnt have to go to the store and buy it since I keep all of these ingredients on hand all the time. I used it in the "Pasta Lasagna" recipe. It was a huge hit. My 6 year old daughter ate 3 (small) plates full and it's rare that I can get her to eat more than 2 or 3 bites at dinner time. She actually asked if she could have a third plate of this instead of a piece of the Valentine's day ice cream cake I brought home. That was shocking. I was really surprised at how easy this was too. I used the exact amount of seasoning and all other ingredients just as the recipe is written and I am not sure why others leave the bell pepper out (unless they just didn't have any) because that gives it a great flavor. Great!
This was very quick easy and good! I didn't do the peppers added more garlic and some salt just our preferences. Also I used a can of crushed tomatoes instead of whole skipping the blender step. I usually make the kind of spaghetti sauce that you let simmer for a few hours but was pressed for time and tried this and I'm glad I did. Excellent!
I made this sauce last night and was really pleased with the results. I left out the green pepper(hubby doesn't care for them) and I also added some salt and a touch of sugar. My 8 year old said it was the best spaghetti sauce he ever tasted!
Super delicious! I changed a couple things because I wanted to make more to put in the freezer. I doubled the garlic tomatoes chicken broth and tomato paste. I also added about 2 tbsp of garlic salt to the 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef I cooked. Along with 1 tsp of ground oregano. Simple and quick recipe! My husband and toddler loved it and asked for me to make the homemade stuff from now on instead of the store-bought kind.
We like a little chunkier sauce so I use diced tomates w/ basil...also I use Vegetable broth or stock in place of the chicken stock...Mushrooms are also a good add as well as a little grated carrot for sweetness.
I've never made sauce this way and this recipe wasn't quite as fast to the table as I was looking for (hungry toddler). With a few changes I got it to the table within about 15 minutes. I sauted the garlic and onion (I was out of green peppers) then I added a can of Muir Glen crushed tomatoes with basil. I added some parsley and oregano heated it up and that was it. It got an "mmmm" from my 22-month-old. I decided to skip the chicken broth and tomato paste because I wanted the fresh taste of the Muir Glen tomatoes to be front and center and I didn't want to spend an extra 20 minutes making the sauce. This is a good after work recipe.
It was really great. Fast and the fam loved it. Plus I usually have all the ingredients around.
This was easy to make and had a great taste. I usually keep a can of prepared spaghetti sauce on the pantry shelf for those nights when I want a quick meal. Because I was out of that I found this recipe and liked the taste much better. I followed the recipe as written except I only used 1/2 a bell pepper since my husband doesn't like a strong green-pepper taste. I would recommend adding a dash of salt.
Not impressed...made as written and was very bland and not very "tomatoey". I questioned the cup of chicken both and I think that may have diluted some of the flavor. Had to do some serious doctoring to get it to be edible. Sorry won't be making this one again.
