Miriam's Spaghetti Sauce

2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
1 lb lean ground hamburger (opt.)
2-3 cans stewed tomatoes
2-3 small cans tomato sauce
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 carrot, grated
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

*Saute onions/garlic then brown hamburger. Add all other ingredients. Simmer 30 min. - 1 hour. Add about 1 tsp. salt (to taste).
*Serve over noodles or use as lasagna sauce. The longer you simmer the more enhanced the flavors become. May add more spices if not enough for your taste.
