Ingredients

  • 1 kg. spaghetti noodles
  • ½ kg. Lean ground beef
  • ½ kg. Lean ground pork
  • ¼ kg. hotdogs, sliced
  • ½ kg. tomato sauce
  • ½ cup Banana Ketchup
  • 3 pieces laurel leaves (bay leaves)
  • ¼ cup brown or white sugar
  • 3 green bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 3 onions, finely chopped
  • 1 bulb garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons of cooking oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup grated cheese ( I like a combination of
  • cheddar and mozzarella)

Method

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Set aside.
  2. In a deep pan, heat the oil and sauté onions and garlic until onion is clear, releasing the aromatics.
  3. In the same pan, pour in water and toss in all your meat (except the hotdogs), the bell pepper and laurel leaves.
  4. Leave until it is boiling.. Lower the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Mix into it your  banana ketchup (it won’t be pinoy without the sweet banana ketchup ) and tomato sauce, add salt and pepper to your preference (taste as you go) then allow to simmer for another 8-10 minutes.
  6. Toss in the hotdog. Allowing the sauce with all the ingredients to simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  7. If your pot is big enough to accomodate the spaghetti, mix in your noodles and make sure sauce is evenly spread. 
  8. Transfer to a serving dish, and add cheese evenly on top.
  9. If you are feeling a little more extra – go ahead and put this dish in the oven in an oven-safe dish and allow the cheese to melt to turn this dish into bakes spag. YUMMMERS
