Filipino Spaghetti


Ingredients:
  • 1 kg. spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 kg. ground beef
  • 1/4 kg. hotdogs, diagonally sliced
  • 1 kg. tomato sauce (or 3/4 kg. tomato sauce and 1/4 kg. banana catsup)
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 head garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons of cooking oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated quick-melt cheese

Spaghetti Cooking Instructions:

  • Cook spaghetti noodles according to package instructions.
  • In a sauce pan or wok, sauté garlic and onions in cooking oil.
  • Add ground beef and a cup of water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce or combination of banana catsup and tomato sauce, salt and pepper to taste then let simmer for another 10 minutes
  • Add the hotdogs. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Optional: add hot sauce e.g. Tabasco for more spice if desired.
  • Serve spaghetti noodles and grated cheese separately for a cleaner meal.

    I removed unnecessary ingredients such as ground pork, laurel leaves, brown sugar and green bellpeppers. I opted to put 2 tablespoons of white sugar instead.
