Spaghetti Sauce

2 quart jars tomatoes*
2 6 ounce cans tomato paste
1/2 to 1 pound ground beef, browned
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons dried onions
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bay leaf
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Put all ingredients in a big pot. Heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or less for a fresher tomato taste. I usually double or triple the recipe then freeze it!

*Home-bottled tomatoes taste the best, buy you can also substitute 4 or 5 cans (14.5 ounce each) of diced/whole tomatoes-you will probably want to blend some or all of the tomatoes, depending on how chunky you like the sauce.
