“Eddie’s Spaghetti” From Catherine & Craig’s Open House in Brigham City

In a large skillet, brown:
1 pound lean ground beef
½ C. chopped onion
1 t. garlic salt.
Add and mix:
2 T. flour
Add: 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 C. tomatoes
1 can mushrooms
2 t. parsley flakes
1 t. salt
½ t. oregano
¼ t. pepper
Dash basil
1 bay leaf, crushed
Cover & simmer one hour.
Uncover and cook 1 hour more.

Cat's modifications: add a lot of minced garlic (the kind kept in the fridge), a lot of basil and then a few teaspoons of sugar to bring out the flavor.  Also put a couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken.  *She makes big batches when she makes it.
