Ingredients

Directions

1. Fill a large sauce pan 3/4 full of water and put it on the stove (on high) to boil.
2. While waiting for the water to boil, break up the ground beef into small chunks in a frying pan (do not heat yet), and chop the onion coarsely.
3. Add spaghetti to the water when boiling, and reduce heat to medium. Put the frying pan with the beef on the stove on high.
4. Simmer the spaghetti for 8-9 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the beef regularly, breaking it into small crumbles.
5. When the beef is mostly all brown, drain the excess fat and return the pan to the stove, add the onion, and reduce the heat to medium-high for 2-3 more minutes, continuing to stir.
6. Add the pasta sauce to the beef and onions in the frying pan, and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Drain the spaghetti when it is finished, and rinse with a small amount of cold water.
7. Portion the spaghetti onto dishes or into bowls, then spoon the sauce onto the top.
8. Eat spaghetti.
