Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 cups Pickles, diced (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and optional pickles if desired. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles in the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil or Parmesan cheese if desired.
