6 oz FRENCH'S® French Fried Onions Products

1 lb Hamburger meat

1/2 lb 1/2 lb Pre packaged Hot Sausage (Tube)

32 oz jar spaghetti sauce any brand

16 oz package spaghetti noodles

1 1 Small green bell pepper

8 cup water

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

Greased 9x13 baking dish, finally chop green bell pepper, and the small onion and place in frying pan with small amount of olive oil, sauté until slightly tender, add ground beef and sausage to bell peppers and onions and brown meat (drain grease from meat and disregard). Add spaghetti sauce and let simmer, salt and pepper to taste. Place spaghetti noodles in pan of boiling water, add small amount of salt and oil to boiling water to keep noodles from sticking. Slightly undercook noodles. Drain noodles. Mix noodles and meat with sauce together in large bowl. Add one small bottle of ranch dressing to noodles and meat with sauce and mix well. Pour mixture into greased baking dish. Top with French’s Fried Onions and bake in oven for 20 -25 minutes ( or until golden brown).
I like to use Jimmy Dean sausage in the tube for the sausage. For the spaghetti suauce I kike the mushroom and garlic sauce. This is great to fix on a cold day with some great garlic bread on the side.
