My grandma made this spaghetti for years and it was my favorite growing up. Wanted to share.

I know certain ingredients will sound scary/gross/lazy (the soup) but holy cow don't knock it til you try it.

1 medium or large onion chopped (to your liking )
2T oil
1 lb Hamburger
1tsp salt
1/4th tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/3 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 can condensed mushroom soup
1 can condensed tomato soup
8 oz spaghetti

Cook onions in oil over medium-low heat until translucent. Add hamburger meat, turn heat to medium, and mix thoroughly. While the meat browns boil water for your pasta. Once the water is boiling break your 8oz of spaghetti in half and add to water (cook normally 10-12 minutes). When the meat is cooked through add all seasonings, Tabasco sauce, and soups. Lower heat to low stirring occasionally while pasta finishes boiling. When pasta is finished drain and add to meat saucr. After all ingredients are combined simmer for 45 min on low.

The simmer is key to this recipe. She got this from an old cook book and it is called Irish-Italian Spaghetti. Presumably named by someone unfamiliar with Irish cuisine and assuming all things pasta are instantly Italian. Still it is a shockingly delicious pasta recipes. Highly recommend.

Those who have a strong sensitivity to spice/heat be warned. If you like spicy food at all you will barely notice a kick though.



bon appetit
