The Queen's Own Spaghetti Sauce or Dean's Favorite Spaghetti Recipe
A few years back, while cooking a pot roast, I screwed up and created the best spaghetti sauce ever (according to Dean). Update: I was asked how I screwed up. I screwed up the pot roast by overcooking it. I got busy doing stuff and forgot to check the meat. When I did check it, it fell apart. I couldn't slice it at all. It just fell to pieces when confronted by my knife and that is how I got the idea.

Ingredients:

3lb pot roast or any type of beef roast (cheap cut)
2 med onions
1/2 bag baby carrots
3 stalks celery
1 small bag frozen chopped green peppers
3 large cloves garlic
1 Bay leaf
3 jars your favorite commercial sauce
2 cans mushrooms (optional)
1 can diced tomatoes, any variety
oil for frying
Seas: Salt, pepper, paprika, basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes

Brown meat with seas. until both sides are crusty looking. Throw in the raw veggies and add only enough water to cover the meat. Braise covered for 2 -3 hours. Once the meat is fork tender, pull it out and cool. Turn up the heat on the veggies and add sauce, mushrooms and can tomatoes. Add additional salt, pepper, other seasonings to taste. Boil for a while until the meat is ready. Shred the meat by hand and toss it back into the sauce. Turn heat down and simmer about 30 minutes. Serve over pasta!

Well yum. Sound almost like swiss steak if you used round steak instead of pot roast. Anyway, do you serve it with pasta on the side?

That post was a mistake. I didn't finish it and it ran anyway.

I assume you chop or mince the veggies...right?

Rough chopping, don't mince! I don't cut the carrots at all. Do it like you would a pot roast.

I'd still lose the carrots. Cook 'em with the meat then toss 'em.

Not a fan of carrots, eh? Carrots help cut down the acidity of a tomato sauce.

I like the carrots and they pick up the flavor of the sauce. They don't taste carroty. Dean is just turning into a crotchity old man... like Dad was when Mom cooked. :-)

It is cooking on my stove right now and the smells???? Oh my, just wonderful!! I used cajun seasoning on the roast and it had to cook for about 4 hours (3.5 lbs) since I had to go out and show a house. The sauce taste wonderful, the meat is falling apart. I have just added the sauce, tomatoes and mushrooms. We are at a slow simmer right now.... time for a glass of wine, or two I believe.
