Almost Homemade Spaghetti Meat Sauce With Extra To Freeze

1. 1

   Break up hamburger in large pot or skillet.

2. 2

   Add celery and onion.

3. 3

   Cover and brown hamburger over medium low heat, stirring every 5 minutes to break up the meat. Drain fat. To really eliminate as much fat as possible, rinse with hot water.

4. 4

   Note: Do not heat the sauce mixture until you have placed three of the portions in freezer bags. That way you are not handling and freezing heated sauce.

5. 5

   Place hamburger back in the pot and add mushrooms and sauce. Mix well.

6. 6

   Start heating a separate, large pot of water for the noodles. Add a dash of salt.

7. 7

   Place 3 1/2 cups of the sauce in a quart sized freezer bag and seal, squeezing out air. Repeat two times. Freeze.

8. 8

   Scrape the side of the pot to consolidate and heat remaining sauce on medium low, stirring every so often.

9. 9

   Prepare 1 package of the spaghetti noodles, according to the package directions, drain.

10. 10

    Serve sauce over the noodles.

    This is great served with Garlic Butter Texas Toast (#159750) by KITTENCAL. I get a whole loaf of Texas Toast and double the recipe. I use 4 slices for the spaghetti and freeze the rest, separating each slice with waxed paper, to serve with future batches of the spaghetti.
