Instructions

In an extra-large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and green peppers, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until lightly browned.

Add the ground chuck to the skillet and cook until fully browned. Drain the excess grease from the pan.

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well mixed with the meat.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes, and stir well. Add the tomato sauce last and stir again to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the spaghetti. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta well.

Mix the cooked spaghetti with the meat sauce, or serve the sauce over the noodles. Garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
