Old Fashioned Spaghetti Sauce by Mom

8 servings
This is the spaghetti sauce I always used to make, before I found the bottled sauce that is so much easier, but not near as good.

2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 c)
1 green pepper, finely chopped
2 cans (15 oz ea) tomato sauce
2 cans (12 oz ea) tomato paste

2 envelopes Italian style spaghetti sauce mix with mushrooms
3 c. water
1 tsp oregano leaves
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 bay leave
16 oz spaghetti
Grated parmesan to serve

Cook and stir ground beef, onion and pepper until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain. Stir in remain ingredients except spaghetti and parmesan. Cover. Simmer 1 ½ hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with cooked spaghetti. Top with Parmesan.
