Directions
Ev’s Greek Spaghetti Dinner,Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients and instructions – it comes together really quickly and I’m a stickler for detail. This is really good and I do recommend you try spaghetti ‘the Greek way’. I’m pretty sure you’re going to like it.;-) If you want to make this a totally Greek dinner, then serve with a Greek salad, crusty bread, red wine, and fresh fruit for dessert.,Way, way too much vinegar. I thought maybe it would improve the longer it cooked but nope. I had to throw the pot out. Such a waste.,This is DELICIOUS! I have been making italian style spaghetti sauce for over 40 years and enjoy this more! A true keeper for my family!

When You Think Its Been Browned Long Enough and Its Time to Give It a Stir to Redistribute the Meat For More Browning Stop Wait Another Minute and a Half to Two Minutes, and Then Stir Up the Meat. Do This Repeatedly Until All the Meat Is Good and Brown. This Is Important For the End Result. For a Good Meat Sauce, You Want Your Meat to Have Browned Sufficiently, and Most People Dont Give It Enough Time. in All, This Process Should Take 12-15 Minutes. |

Add All the Remaining Ingredients, Bring Back to a Boil, and Reduce Heat to a Simmer. Simmer, Uncovered, For 35 Minutes, Then Cover Pot and Simmer a Further 30 Minutes. This Is as Long as I Cook It For My Family, the Sauce Is as Thick as We Like It. If You Like Your Sauce Thicker, Cook It Uncovered Slightly Longer Before Covering the Pot (another 5-10 Minutes?). If You Like Your Sauce Thinner, Cover the Pot After 25-30 Minutes of Simmering Before Continuing With the Additional Half Hour. |
