Cooking Method

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat a pan and add cooking oil. Sauté garlic and onions, then add ground beef. Cook over high heat until meat is no longer pink.
Lower heat, then add bell peppers, carrots, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour water into the pan and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is almost dry and the vegetables are tender.
Turn up the heat and add hotdogs. Stir for 1 minute. Add spaghetti sauce and bring to a boil. Adjust seasonings to taste. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
Add Lady’s Choice Real Mayonnaise. Stir well until the spaghetti sauce becomes creamy and the color turns lighter.
Transfer cooked spaghetti to a plate and pour the sauce on top. Garnish with grated cheese.

The best thing about making spaghetti sauce at home is the freedom to customize it as you like. Want it even creamier? Aside from mayonnaise, you can also stir in cooking cream. Don’t like beef? Swap it for ground chicken or chopped bacon. For the brave souls, add chili flakes and see how much spice you can take. Save this recipe for your next party and have a chance to be called the host of the year!
