Cooking at the ski lodge is a challenge as skiers demand the BEST meals after a day on the slopes and you need to create wonderful yummy meals in a lodge kitchen that's not well equipped.
OK...this one pot meal is E-A-S-Y.
I'm big on using only the best, natural ingredients to create good home cooked meals. So, the same goes in creating the best homemade spaghetti sauce.
...and buy only the best quality ground beef with little fat.
I'm sorry there are no pictures as I cooked this yummy meal in the common kitchen at our ski lodge.
Firstly brown the meat and onions, then throw in the vegetables, tinned tomatoes and puree. Season it, simmer and lastly, stir through the last two ingredients and ...
that's it.
Really.
It is just the best and you know exactly what's gone into your sauce.
Now, the secret in creating this best homemade spaghetti sauce recipe, is to only stir through the sour cream and peas at the end of the cooking process. Sour cream adds depth to the flavor and if you just warm through the frozen peas (don't cook it), the peas retain its fresh green color and fresh crunch.

Tips
Use non-stick cook ware to avoid the use of oil in your cooking. I try to minimize the amount of oil we consume in our diet.
Don't cook frozen peas. Just stir it through right at the end. The heat from the cooked meal is sufficient to heat the peas through.
