Excellent and frugal recipe. My mom used to make spaghetti using the mix, and everyone loved it. I used the mix recipe, but with a twist. I browned grown beef, onion, green pepper, and fresh garlic. Stirred in 1/4-cup of the mix, 2 cans tomato paste & 4 cups water. Let it simmer while I cooked spaghetti. Turned out great -- and cheap too. My kind of recipe.

Just like the store bought mix, a real lifesaver when I noticed too late that I only had tomatoe sauce on hand. Tangy, not sweet, not too spicy.

I made up some of the mix as written and left it with instructions for my husband to make up. He called me at work to say it was "fantastic." When I made the mix I used my dehydrated bell peppers chopped into small pieces for the sweet pepper flakes. Since then I've adjusted it by cutting the salt in half and adding an extra teaspoon of the dried minced garlic. We prefer to make it with a pint of our home-canned tomatoes and little less than a quarter cup of the mix, or a quart of canned tomatoes and about 1/3 cup of the mix. We also add some pre-cooked hamburger for a meatier sauce.

I really like the idea that I can make this sauce quick and easy but I know what is in it and it's not loaded with sodium. I ended up adding an extra can of tomato paste to thicken it up and make it nice and tomato tasting. Next time I might just add a little more cornstarch so I won't have to do that. My husband likes it and that's the highest rating of all!

This is a great starter for spaghetti sauce. Fix it up with some sauteed mushrooms, bell pepper, or onion. Will use again...much healthier than the jarred stuff.

I fix two batches of the mix to keep on hand. One made with red pepper flakes (spicy) the other made as directed in this recipe (sweet). Then use 3 parts of the sweet to one part of the spicy to give the sauce some kick. I make double and triple batches of the sauce so I have plenty of sauce to freeze. I have made this numerous times and the family always gobbles it up. Thank you for the recipe, Betty.

Had more noodles left over than sauce so tried this in order to stretch it. It's GREAT! I didn't have sweet pepper flakes so used about 1 T. of red pepper flakes. I'm so glad to have founds this. No more bottled spaghetti sauce for me!

You are gonna love this recipe. It makes the best sauce, better than what you can purchase and easy to do. I make pizza sauce with the same mix by adding it to tomato sauce and not quite as much water as for spaghetti sauce.

I have the pickiest children on the planet when it comes to food. They hate most foods that normal children like and spaghetti is usually one of them! I had my daughter help me make the first batch of sauce and the kids LOVED it! I was shocked! I have to admit it was pretty darn good too! I thought it came out a little on the thick side so I thinned it with some white wine and it tasted great... some of my friends say that the kids ate it because of the wine (LOL) but I know it was because it tasted so good. My daughter loved taking responsiblity for making dinner, it was easy for her to put together for all of us!

I simmered this for 20 minutes. It smelled great and tasted better. I only used 1 tsp salt. My only complaint was it was way too thick and I think you could cut back on the cornstarch. I can't find sweet pepper flakes at our store and I'm not familiar with the product, so I used paprika instead and a couple spoons of diced pimento and a good pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Sauce was good, just way too thick. Thanks.

Great receipe!!! Loved it... Could't find the sweet pepper flakes but found a combination of sweet pepper and garlic by McCormick that worked good.... Used sausage instead of ground beef which made it very flavorful. Made several batches for for future use... No more bought Spaghetti sauce here.

This actually gets 3.5 stars (3 from DH and 4 from me). It was really easy and quick, but I just didn't like the sauce very much. I used crushed red pepper as that was all that I had - I think it would be better with the sweet like the recipe calles for.

I was searching for a tomato sauce that didn't contain sugar, and couldn't find one at the store. I tried this recipe (minus the sugar) and it's fantastic! It's just so easy to whip up a batch of spaghetti sauce when you have this in your pantry. I just made up a batch of the mix for the second time, and I used onion powder instead of minced onion (not a big fan of onion texture), and I added more garlic, but even as-is this recipe is great.

I normally buy the packaged seasoning to add to a can of spaghetti sauce. It never really had that perfect taste. I decided to try this recipe, because, it seems I go to make spaghetti, and I am out of an envelope of mix. This sauce mix was easy to put together. My family loved it. I did have to add ground red pepper, because I could not find sweet red pepper. This did add a little kick. Thanks so much for the recipe. will definitely make again. Very cost effective.

This is a great recipe with a little tweaking! I used ground turkey instead of ground beef to cut down on the fat content. I also couldn't find the sweet pepper flakes and used red pepper flakes. Someone suggested using half the amount of red peppers but for me that was still a little too spicy, especially for spaghetti. So, next time I will use only 1/4 the amount of pepper called for in the recipe. I also couldn't find any dried minced garlic so I just added fresh minced garlic as I was making the sauce.
