To Die for Spaghetti Sauce!

This recipe and picture is from my friend Sarah and I can't wait to make it! Thanks Sarah!!!

I have not measured anything however so here is a list of all the things I throw in:

1 jar of store bought sauce

1 can of chopped tomatoes

1 can of mushrooms ( if you like them)

1 lb. hamburger

garlic

oregano

thyme

basil

about a 1/4 cup brown sugar

1 package of dry spaghetti sauce mix

I brown the hamburger with the mushrooms and garlic then add all of the other ingredients. The spices I just throw in some until it smells good and then simmer the sauce, until my noodles are done. So if any of you are looking for a little different spaghetti sauce try putting a little bit of brown sugar in even my kids who never like the sauce, actually said it was good today. My love for spaghetti is back!!
