One Pot Spaghetti
Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time: 15 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (We use very lean ground beef so we don’t have to drain the fat)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups beef broth
- One 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
- One 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
- One 4-ounce can of tomato paste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
- 8 ounces of dried spaghetti, broken in half
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat up oil over medium-high heat for a minute. Add chopped onion and cook until slightly translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for one more minute. Add ground beef and brown until cooked through – approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Add spaghetti noodles and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 9-11 minutes, stirring frequently until the pasta is al dente. Serve up in bowls to make it easy to eat in your camp chair!

Spring Is One of the Best Times To Go Camping
Bask in Ideal Weather:
- Experience delightful temperatures ranging from the pleasant 60s to the balmy 70s (or even warmer depending on your location).
Nature’s Awakening:
- Immerse yourself in the spectacle of nature stirring to life all around you, from the blossoming buds on trees to the vibrant activity of nearby wildlife.
Perfect for Adventure:
- Take advantage of the mild spring climate, which makes strenuous camping activities such as hiking and backpacking even more enjoyable.
Serene Seclusion:
- Beat the crowds before peak season hits! With fewer campers around, you’ll have your pick of campsites and can fully relish the attractions without the hustle and bustle.
Bug-Free Bliss:
- Bid farewell (at least temporarily) to bothersome bugs! Spring’s cooler temperatures keep biting insects at bay until warmer weather settles in, allowing you to savor the great outdoors without the hassle of constant bug protection.
