Easy Spaghetti Sauce

This is another easy recipe from my friend Bridgette (actually, it's her mother's recipe). We made this during our recent day of cooking for our freezers. It smelled SO GOOD all day long and the final product tasted even better!

• 2 pounds ground beef or turkey
• 5 (6-oz.) cans tomato paste
• 2 (15-oz.) cans tomato sauce*
• lots of garlic powder
• lots of onion powder
• lots of Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste

Brown and season ground meat with salt and pepper. Drain grease and place meat into a crock pot. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on high for about two hours (stirring every 30 minutes or so to prevent burning). Then cook on low for about six more hours. Let sauce cook for a while before tasting. An extra can of sauce or paste can be added to thicken or thin the sauce as desired.

Makes a lot! Can be frozen in any amount desired.
