1/2 cup Burgundy or merlot win ( Burgundy gives a deeper flavor)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated American cheese, about 4 slices , or 1/2 up grated mild cheddar cheese
1/2 lb dry spaghetti, broken in half
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large no-stick frying pan or dutch oven, saute meat, onion and garlic. Add tomato sauce, wine, oregano, sugar and salt. Simmer, cover, 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (It really makes a difference if you can take this amount of time! Otherwise 20 minutes will serve to heat everything)
Cook spaghetti and drain. Put half the spaghetti in a greased 3-qt casserole, and then add half the sauce and 1/4 cup of the grated cheese. Add the remaining spaghetti and sauce, and stir everything with a large spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Best if baked for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
