I have looked, but unable to find bbq bread here in Texas metroplex... looks yummy! I just wanted to say, I have grown up on a farm, but UNFORTUNATELY, my son was not. Your son Isaac seems so very helpful to you and Bryant. This is a true country boy doing country things. His dreams may not be going down that path, but he will never be sorry or regret being country. God bless...

I absolutely love cooking for my family and spending time with those babies! I am a retired Medical Technologist and my husband is a retired insurance man. Love your farming content as well!

Basil is what sweetens the tomatoes. I also add onion pepper and smoked paprika. As I am diabetic I can't add sugar. Recipe looks good, stay safe and God bless.

You just answered a question my husband and I had this past weekend. We were up in north Georgia this past weekend and everyone had cut their hay. My husband said he thought you cut hay in the Fall. I said maybe it’s both times. And it is! Also, I have a gas stove top and I drain my grease the same way you do when there isn’t much. I didn’t know anyone else did that!😂. Haven’t caught it on fire yet!

[@barbaratate423]

Great meal, congrats on your cabinets. I appreciate your quick meals and short cuts. I am a live alone senior and do not like to spend much time cooking if there is a way to avoid it. I don't see a need to worry about cooking during the remodel.

You have made me enjoy cooking again. Husband was killed 20 yeas ago, so cooking for just myself has not been much fun. Buttttt I do enjoy baking and now today I'm trying the Chicken casserole. I put broccoli in mine instead of green beans. Still in process of cooking it, but it looked so good. Thanks for sharing your recipes and life with us.

That's the way to make it taste so much better but quick and easy! Love little Levi just a looking ! cute! Thanks Leslie!

[@suzannest-laurentdvorak459]

That’s the way I have always done my sauce, saves time and I also add chopped mushrooms, diced celery and diced peppers to the meat once it’s almost cooked with the meat then add I add my sauce, and I too alway add a bit of sugar, about a tbsp for a large pot. Hey anything to make for an delicious and easy meal is good in my book is OK. BTW, I love your videos. When you apologized for having you Cabinet door opened, I had to laugh...OMG I always have mine opened too and my drawers, my husband just laughs at me. He says I can tell who was in the kitchen last,😂😂😂

[@donnacolin2453]

Leslie, my Italian mother-in-law taught me to put Parmesan in my spaghetti sauce and my meatballs. She also served Parmesan on the table for additional pleasure. You are absolutely on the right track but I would do the same thing with a can of diced tomatoes and it only has to cook about 30 minutes to be pretty tasty with the exact recipe that you’re using if you don’t have jarred sauce or you prefer not to use jarred sauce.Keep on cooking my friend.

[@coolstamper]

From what I know about oil in the pasta water...it prevents it from boiling over. A little butter will do the same thing. 💕

I always “doctor up” jarred sauce. Always have. I also add onions and garlic, but I also add Italian seasoning but instead of sugar, I add a tablespoon or two of jelly or jam, like grape or plum.

[@nanamjbri]

I’ve done spaghetti sauce both ways by scratch and by adding a couple jars of spaghetti sauce the only difference is i chopped up bell peppers and added to the meat and onions and let it cook together I also love to cook the sauce for a couple of hours . I also add the sauce to the pot of spaghetti before serving but saving some so people can add if they want . My dad never liked spaghetti but he loved mine.

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

I love baked spaghetti too.So You could get this ready and combine. Put in a 9x13 pan. Top with cheese and broil the cheese until melted. Then you got baked spaghetti. Thanks for the great recipe 😀😊

[@sandyjolley9810]

I love those kind of videos!

[@patnewton4191]

I add a little red cooking wine too

[@smiley9872]

Me too, it's the only thing that makes it seem homemade IMO

[@terriegreer4078]

Girl you got it going on that sugar definitely makes a difference in adding in your spaghetti sauce I'm telling you us southern girl's at Doctoring up a jar of spaghetti sauce or anything that's not actually homemade is the best thing ever to make something that you didn't do from scratch tastes delicious 😋

[@Emilyhildegaard1]

We had "doctored" jarred sauce over spaghetti this evening. We begin with sauteed onions and Italian sausage. After pouring in the sauce, we add the kitchen trinity (garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasonings) and sugar, very, very carefully. We don't want sweet, but we want to get rid of the acidity and give it some delish. Our secret weapon is sliced stuffed green olives. We LOVE these in our sauce.

[@kristieweeks3904]

I have heard of several people who put sugar in their spaghetti sauce. I never think about doing it when I makeing it. I'm gonna have to remember to try it! I love that little fork Judah had! They are so cute! Spaghetti face and all!

[@darrelynkelley6925]

[@robertgorton3856]

I always use store bought spaghetti sauce when making spaghetti, lasagna, and Spanish rice. I also use it when making zucchini lasagna as well. I add a half pack of Mrs. Wages Chili Sauce mix to my Spaghetti sauce. I use a small amount of lite brown sugar in my sauce, I also add shredded cheddar, or shredded taco or Mexican cheese to my sauce. I put shredded cheese at times on my garlic toast. I also make when the tomatoes are ripe in the garden what my Aunt calls a white garlic toast. I get a loaf of French bread cut it in half place the half bread loaf on a sheet of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet pour bottled zesty Italian salad dressing over the half French bread pieces top the salad dressing with sliced tomatoes, sprinkled shredded cheese over the tomatoes, put pepperoni slices over top the cheese put aluminum foil covering over top of it place in 350 oven about 15 minutes to melt the cheese well then after heated cut the French bread half's in serving pieces place on a serving plate. It makes a delicious side with spaghetti or lasagna. It is alittle messy handling with the salad dressing but, delicious that way.

[@henrywieler254]

Awesome video as always....i always doctor my sauce....yours looked delish. I think you forgot to add the cabinet staining 🥰🌻

No stained cabinet? I make doctored up jar/homemade sauce all the time lol...looks delicious Leslie!! Those babies are so totally adorable!!

[@sueoneal2249]

Looks yummy!!!

[@thethess3054]

For hamburger grease...I use old coffee cans for the grease and chuck them when full. But to drain meat.. I set my colliandor on top of the can, dump the meat in the strainer and just let gravity do the work. Then take the strainer and dump the meat back in the pan. I use the same strainer for draining the spaghetti.

[@vasheaglethevegan4090]

I would personaly use orange zest rather than refined sugar but really love the idea, will try this with mushrooms rather than beef.

[@earlspell1125]

Lucy Spell commenting, This looks delicious. I have always used a jar of spaghetti sauce and "doctored" it up. I will try your suggestion of adding Worcestershire sauce and the sugar. Your grandbabies are precious. Love the look on Levi's face when Bryant was doing the taste test.

[@shannonpreston804]

I love watching the farm life on your videos. And this is funny. My daughter is coming to see me tomorrow and I am making spaghetti and meatballs with chocolate cake with mini candy bars as decorations. And don't forget about thinking about that cookbook.

[@masunshine2970]

I make my spaghetti sauce just like you are making yours. I just add a lot more Italian seasonings and Granulated Garlic. Sometimes if I have it I add pesto from Costco, and or chopped Sun Dried tomatoes, and chopped bellpeppers. Then if my grandkids want light spaghetti sauce I add cream cheese. My grandma and I used to make it from scratch for years until she or I could eat our own scratch one because too much acid. So we started using DelMonte spaghetti sauce with all the extras just like you do. With lots of cheese in a casserole dish.

[@TheFarmingPastorsWife]

We have done the sun dried tomatoes and they were great

I always do that with the water to empty the rest of the sauce. "Waste not, want not" is my motto! (I don't throw the jars away, either. They make great glasses for everyday use - sweet tea, water, or whatever! My kids loved 'em, growing up!) :-D
