Spaghetti Meat Sauce

Another pressure cooker staple in our home that could easily be converted to use home storage ingredients.

Spaghetti Meat Sauce

1 lb. lean ground beef                       1 tsp parsley flakes
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes            1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 c. water                                      1/2 tsp basil 
1/2 c. chopped onion                        1/4 tsp thyme
1/2 c. chopped celery                       1 tsp salt
1/2 c. diced bell pepper                    2 tsp sugar
1 clove garlic                                    1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (13oz) can mushroom, drained

Brown meat and drain.  Add all ingredients, except tomato paste, to pressure cooker.  Bring cooker to pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Cook 8 minutes.  Cool cooker at once.  Stir in tomato paste and simmer, uncovered, to desired thickness (sometimes I add a little cornstarch too.)  Serve sauce over spaghetti.
