I say "secret" sauce because up until we finally actually wrote this recipie down, John really never knew how much of anything he put into his sauce. For the longest time, anytime we had spaghetti, Darrin told us that John HAD to make the sauce becuase his sauce was the best. We finally came up with this points friendly version of the sauce, and you can't even taste the difference from the original
1 pound 95% lean/5% fat raw ground beef (usually the closest I can find is 93/7)
1 jar Healthy Choice pasta sauce
1/2 cup water
3 clove garlic clove(s)
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
In sauce pan, combine together jar of pasta sauce with all other ingredients except ground beef and garlic powder.
Allow to simmer while you are browning the ground beef.
Brown ground beef in pan with the garlic powder.
Drain any grease off (if using the extra lean ground beef, there should not be much)
Add ground beef to rest of sauce.
Allow to simmer about 20 mintes.Serve over your favorite pasta.
Sauce is 2pts per 1/2 cup using extra lean ground beef
