I'm looking for the recipe for Italian Spaghetti from the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (1971).  It is No. 6 in the Men's Favorites section of cards.

Italian Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
2 cans (15 oz each) tomato sauce
2 cans (12 oz each) tomato paste
1 can (7 1/2 oz) pitted ripe olives, drained and sliced
2 envelopes (1 1/2 oz each) Italian-style spaghetti sauce mix with mushrooms
3 cups water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp oregano leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf, crumbled
16 oz Italian-style spaghetti
Grated Parmesan cheese

Cook and stir meat, onion and pepper until meat is brown and onion is tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except spaghetti and Parmesan cheese. Cover; simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Cook spaghetti as directed on package; drain. Serve meat sauce over hot spaghetti; pass Parmesan cheese. 8 servings.

Note: Meat sauce can be prepared ahead. Cover and refrigerate or freeze. When ready to serve, cook spaghetti; heat meat sauce and serve over hot spaghetti.

AlabamaCooker!

Thank you so much for the fast response!  I've been looking for my card for quite some time; I'm sure I've just misplaced it somewhere.

I used to follow this recipe every time I cooked spaghetti.  Since I lost it, I've just improvised on what I could remember of it.  Now I've got it back again!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!
