I just love Tammy. She makes a mistake and just laughs it off. Nothing fazes her, she just goes with the flow. That's the sign of a very confident cook!

I'm Italian-American, second generation, but this looks absolutely delicious! One caveat. Always briefly saute your garlic in the oil for that nutty complex flavor.

I also put beef bouillon in my spaghetti sauce! Some people think I'm nuts for doing that but it gives it such a rich flavor.

I am Italian American, we always put tomato paste in our tomato sauce, a lot of us New York -New Jersey Italians call tomato sauce, "gravy". I usually don't like a meat sauce, but yours looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. I never thought of browning the ground beef and storing it, a good tip.Enjoyed yous vlog.

My dad was the cook in our family and he made his own sauce. I stood by him one day so I could write down his recipe. He used onions, peppers, garlic, oregano, basil, bay leaves, a little crushed anise, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, and ground beef. My favorite comfort food. I'll have to try your recipe!

[MrTonyharrell]

Speaking of tomatoes, what did the little tomato say to the big tomatoes? Don’t worry, I’ll ketchup. 😂

[eugenejulson]

Open top of tomato paste can. Remove the top. Open bottom of tomato paste can and push the paste through the can with the bottom lid. ( like an ice cream push-up). It will come out clean and easy.

Hi Tammy! Normally I wouldn’t watch a pasta video by someone not Italian because my husband was Italian and I had my gravy game down-this is what we call sauce but I lost him almost 2 years ago and have eaten very little pasta since his passing. I did watch this video and I made this today and paused my meal to leave this comment-this is really really good sauce!!! I used fresh Angel hair and wow….thank you♥️

[squidkid]

I'm just here for your wonderful Georgia accent. To me it's the best of all the southern accents. When I was growing up my best friend from 3rd grade had a mom who was from Sicily and she would cook her sauce all day long while she listened to Italian opera on the radio and I'm convinced that the music was her secret ingredient 'cause that was the best spaghetti sauce I've ever had.

As i watched this video to the very end, it became obvious why this channel is so successful. This lady is so down to earth and likable, she goes with the flow when something goes wrong. This channel is a case study in authentic, genuine, and real can be just as successful as instagram perfect, production perfect, and super 4k HD type of channels. Bravo Tammy, wish you all the success!

hi, nice recipe, my secret ingredient is Worcestershire sauce as it makes the minced beef richer in color and flavor, it contains vinegar, molasses, anchovies, garlic, tamarind extract, chili pepper extract, sugar, and salt, I use olive oil and add some nice red wine, but I do use a lot of your ingredients like garlic etc, I am from Australia and we do not have marinated mushrooms in the supermarket, when ready to eat I add Parmesan cheese

[floridagirl]

Another little secret... when you buy your canned tomatoes, sauce or paste, buy the Basil & Oregano one. It's amazing. It's so good, sometimes I use it alone, if it's a side dish.

[froggtoggs]

I’m from Texas, and I would love to give this “southern style” spaghetti a go! It looks so good! Thank you for sharing.

[jaytomson]

Well, I heard her voice, and decided to keep watching. I can understand every word she say's. Soothing.

[rebelbecky]

That looks so delicious. I have never considered adding beef broth. Everytime I eat spaghetti it takes me back to my junior high school. They were real cooks, not processed ready made stuff. They would serve the spaghetti and you could get shredded cheese on top - yum. To this day, I like to put shredded cheddar on top of my spaghetti😋.

[christymitchell]

I can't wait to try this! Its kinda like a pantry spaghetti, big on flavor quick on time. I always add a bit of sauce to my noodles to keep them from clumping together. It may not be esthetically pleasing with flecks of meat and veg, but it makes for easier serving and noodles can be stored separately for next day reheats.

[marshamauldin]

I love spaghetti! Do you ever sprinkle parmesean cheese on top? I do, plus I eat some toasted garlic French bread with it! Yummy!!

[sharronwolfe]

I would have never thought to put marinated mushrooms in spaghetti sauce! You’re gonna laugh — but until I watched this I had never heard of marinated mushrooms! This is a must try! It looks so good!!! 😍

[lindawhaley]

I was wondering when someone was gonna put a little sugar in their sauce lol Love watching you ! You are the real deal, don't ever change !

[shestudios]

Ms. Tammy, I included the beef broth and also added a tablespoon of dark soy sauce. It really rounded off the flavor of the meat sauce nicely - very umami. Thank you so much for all your help in the kitchen.
