1 1/3 tbsp Oregano
1 tbsp Thyme
2/3 tbsp White pepper
2 tbsp Dried cilantro
4 tbsp Dried parsley
1 tbsp Sugar
2 Bay leaves

Instructions:

Here is what I do. I brown the meat in the olive oil. I add the
onions & saute till they are somewhat tender. I then add all the
other ingredients. Usually the canned ones first then the fresh
ingred. Let this come to a boil & then turn down. Simmer with the
stockpot cover OFF for 6 or more hours. Of course, you can use
sooner. I like it to cook down & thicken. Either way it is very good.
Many times I add more mushrooms as I like them. Do slice them
thickly; i.e. 3 slices to one very large mushroom. I like to see the
mushrooms! SMILE. This isn't a traditional recipe for spaghetti
sauce. It is something that has "happened" over the years. It
finally developed into what you see. My husband, Punky aka Hap,
enjoys this recipe very much. I certainly hope you do too. I don't
think I have forgotten anything. Oh, we use the low salt stuff - you
don't have to do that. My guy had bypass surgery in Aug. so we are
watching the sodium. I now make this with ground turkey too. It is
very good with the turkey. Several Prodigy members have tried this
recipe. To my delight--they have liked it very much. I hope you do
too. Oh, yes, this does freeze well. I just made 16 quarts of this on
Sunday. I usually add some more garlic when I unfreeze a portion.
This seems to make it tastier. We love garlic in our sketti! I also
add some red crushed pepper flakes to my plate of sketti. Punky does
not like things as hot as I. Remember to adjust seasonings to your
taste. Enjoy. Carol Rheaume-Frischknecht l/l5 ll:03 PM PST
