I Love spaghetti 🍝 😋 your recipe is the way I love to cook. Thank you for sharing your recipes and stories. Do you still have your chickens. ❤😊
Tammy you are just delicious to watch. Thank you for sharing the love. Houston loves ya
I just started watching your videos yesterday. I found them very interesting but the problem I have and I don’t really think it’s fair as I’m from Canada and I wanted to get a free sample of your cookbook and I can’t because it’s only for the states when I put my address in, it doesn’t have my province and I can’t put my postal code, you can also have your cookbook
Looks good, there is no bad sauce, it’s a personal taste. I like that you call it southern. I bet a lot of people miss you since you moved.
Deeelicious !!! I love your sauce; it's definitely different. The toast is a great idea too. Is it plain or garlic? Serve me a bowl, I'm on my way!
This note has nothing to do with what you are talking about today, I BOUGHT THE MEATLOAF PAN and it is the BEST.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We just finished left over spaghetti that I made earlier this year from your recipe I love it
I love love love this recipe, it reminds me a lot of the Spaghetti sauce that you
made and called it Chris's favorite spaghetti sauce. Where I remember that one
of the last things you added right before serving it was a bunch of chopped
garlic! So delicious and it was the best I ever tasted. Thank you for all your
recipes and those marinated mushrooms, yum yum. I'd sometimes use dill
pickle juice if I didn't have any marinated mushrooms on hand that makes
the sauce a little zesty. Since Ragu quit making their extra thick and zesty
sauce! Thanks again Tammy
I'm a southerner too but never add sugar to my sauce or marinated/pickled mushrooms/vinegar. I do use fresh mushrooms, large can of tomato sauce and a small can of paste. I've tried Italian seasoning but it's not as good as using oregano and basil along with the onions, peppers and garlic (diced or just smashed) to release the garlic flavor. I use crushed or diced tomatoes too cuz I make a large batch and there's plenty of sauce. I'm part Italian so maybe that's the reason why mine is different from other folks sauce. As long as you like it that way, that's all that matters. It looked thick like chili with spaghetti added to it. Thanks for sharing your way 🙂
Hi 👋 again ❤ I am asking for sausage spaghetti 🍝 how do cooking sauce spicy?
I love homemade spaghetti sauce. I cook mine in a slow cooker on the days that I will be gone from my home for the majority of the day. When I arrive home, the house has a beautiful aroma wafting throughout the house. I love the orange and yellow that you are wearing, it is very cheery.😀😀😀
The jar opener works by slightly expanding the metal lid, while also breaking the vacuum in the jar!
What your calling grease, is mostly Water.
What I do is pour that into a used metal can, like your tomato can.
I then allow it to cool and discard the liquid in my trash bag, and send the can to recycling!
This looks real good. Can’t say that I like sugar in my sauce however.
I am going to try this without sugar and with a splash of red wine.🍷 #YUM!
Hey Tammy, I made the spaghetti just like your recipe and it was a little too salty for me. It was good but I'll just have to pull back on the salt next time.
Yum 😋 loved it 🥰 didn’t do the mushrooms 🍄 allergic shared Thanks y’all
Yes!! It will taste better the next day.💖
I am going 2 make this dish tomorrow .I think my family will enjoy it ❤😊
Tammy, I haven't noticed but do you ever use the minced garlic in the jar in place of fresh?
My favorite food. Yum yum Tammy
I've been making your recipe for a few yrs now, it was the video in your old home where you made this, but you put in an 8 oz can of tomato sauce instead of paste in the vid, and you even said you didn't know why the recipe said 6 oz, when the 'sauce' was 8 oz. You added a caption after you edited it, saying it should've been paste, not sauce. You said you thought it was runny but didn't catch it till you were reading off the ing. in the cookbook, and you found it was paste not sauce, and you added the can of paste as well and wrote it off as a 'Tammy' moment! I use that vid every time I make this, as I love how you didn't edit anything out. I never could find the mushrooms, but in this one you say a bit of vinegar and canned mushrooms work too, so I'll try that next time. It truly is the best spaghetti sauce I've made that wasn't 'Italian' based-Thank you and Chris for always keeping it real…✨
I also use beef broth in my spaghetti sauce I’ve don’t this for years and it’s very good I’ve also used chicken stock
This is delicious
Sautéed fresh mushrooms with the onions and peppers a nicer rich flavor. Also, to get your jar lids open just pop underneath jar lid with a spoon until you hear the air seal release. This way you don’t need another gadget.
Great sauce I will always use this recipe( hate to be one of those I like mine a little spicy I put in a little chile powder mmm good
I'm going to try this. I fixed spaghetti yesterday, so i won't be trying it for a while, but i definitely will be trying this. I was raised to use leftover coffee in our cooking, "waste not want not." Spaghetti is 1 of those instances when I use leftover coffee. I think I'll substitute the water for coffee. Also, after the pasta has been cooked, I ladle some of the pasta water into the spaghetti sauce. This helps the sauce stick to the pasta.
Love your channel. Love country cooks & cooking.

Tammy, your tip about using paper towels to mop up grease in the pan is worth the price of admission. I have tried your recipes as well as those of Paula Deen's. I much prefer yours. Just sayin'. Wondering which of your cook books is this particular recipe in?
I make this sauce all the time since I saw your first video about it. We love it!
I will have to try this. Thanks
I could eat spaghetti at least once a week! Can’t wait to try this!❤
Looks great. Can’t wait to try it.
Hey I'm Italian.. so your saying Italians don't make good pasta? 🤔😡🤬
God created colanders for this purpose.
I want to try this. It reminds me of the old Lean Cuisine spaghetti with meat sauce that I used to take to work for lunch regularly for awhile, because of the tomato chunks, but this looks MUCH better-tasting. Thanks for sharing your secret.
Love your accent, love your recipes…n nice boobs, too!
I just make chilli and call it cowboy spaghetti.
Hello Beautiful! Love all your recipes..you're the best!! Chris too!! Have a blessed day
Tammy, please put that jar lid opener you used on your site so we can find it. Looks so handy.
Delicious! I follow your recipes from Mexico. I use fresh mushrooms and fresh tomatoes. We don't have some of these products in the supermarkets.
I made your spaghetti, it was the Best , you were right!!Yum!!😁
Are you a natural red head?
Have you thought about wearing a decorative hat?
Tammy do u realize that smashing the garlic and cutting off the top that u are actually defeating the purpose of what the garlic press job is? All u NEED to do, and I have an old favorite pampered chef garlic press from like 28 years ago and still works perfect, put ur whole garlic clove one or two whatever it holds and press. Scrap off the head and done.
Oh nice use the pasta water instead of hot water!!! Trust me I just started that a few years ago and game changer for how ur sauce thickens and clings to the pasta
Tammy, what brand air fryer do you have? I've never used one but I think I want one for Christmas after seeing your toast! 😊
Yummy ,enjoy !! Looks so good.. love good spaghetti 😊
Ya my grandma had a secret sauce recipe. She also made her own Sour Kraut
Wanna try my Grandmas recipe for Spaghetti Sauce Tammy?
Ooh boy I’m binging on your videos on you tube . The secret spagetti sauce looks so “ delicious” as you said , what a great cook you are 😋😋🥰
