All-In-One Spaghetti

SO good and SO easy! I love that this really only uses one pot - easy clean up. I was skeptical about the sauce with tomato juice and chili powder, but it turned out great. The sauce had the perfect consistency - not too runny like a lot of sauces. It makes a ton of spaghetti. I plan on eating the leftovers while Tadd is out of town.

This is our new favorite spaghetti recipe. We will be having this again soon.
