Bison Meatsauce and Spagetti

You will need:

  • 1 pound of ground bison meat
  • 2 1/2 cup of pasta sauce
  • spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Directions:

  1. Dice your onion and garlic and place them in a large frying pan with olive oil, put on medium heat.
  2. Add in the ground bison.
  3. Begin boiling the water for your noodles in a large or medium pot on medium heat.
  4. Constantly check on your bison mixture.
  5. Once the bison looks nearly fully cooked, add your pasta sauce to the mixture and put the flame on low heat.
  6. Once your water begins to broil, place in your noodles and wait until they are fully cooked, stirring from time to time so they do not stick.
  7. Strain your noodles.
  8. Turn the heat off on your bison and serve with some sour bread, garlic bread, and a simple easy salad.
            ~ ~This is always a great half-an-hour dish to make if you are expecting gusts for dinner in short notice. It is always delicious and if you have any vegetarian gust, put some pasta sauce into a small saucepan and heat it up just for them. :) I am an absolute sucker for Italian foods and meat dishes. (Since I'm mostly Italian.) Try this out, it's a big, belly-filling meal with les dishes to clean!~~

            ~ This is extremely easy to make if you are having people over. It only takes about 40 minutes to do the entire thing and I love making these along with some mashed potatoes and gravy. Plus you don't have to fry them, so they are totally grease free!
