Paula’s Unique Italian Spaghetti
Dylan Phalin
For the Sauce….
Page | 111
Get out an 8 qt stockpot, along with frying pan
turner utensil and a large sauce pan. Spray
stockpot bottom with cooking spray, place on
burner set at medium high, add 2 lbs of fresh
ground chuck, using the frying pan turner to chop
at the meat (leaving it coarsely chopped) while
turning and browning it.
Meanwhile place large saucepan on another burner
turned on high adding the following:
5 Johnsonville mild Italian brats, rinse and leave
whole but, poke each one 3 times with paring
knife, so grease escapes while precooking. And
then add; enough warm water to cover, topping
pan with a lid placed ajar, bring to boil, turn down
to a slow simmer. Then simmer about 1 hour on
low medium.
When ground chuck is browned turn out of pot and
drain well. Return the drained meat to the same
clean, (sprayed again with cooking spray)
stockpot. Now add the following ingredients to the
meat in stockpot, while your brats are still
simmering in the other saucepan:
3 (15 oz.) cans chicken broth
2 (15 oz.) cans Hunts Tomato Sauce
2 (12 oz.) cans Hunts Tomato Paste
1 med to lg. onion, diced
1 med. to lg. green pepper diced
½ (15 oz.) can lg. pitted and drained black olives,
put thru egg slicer
2 whole bay Leaves
5-6 garlic cloves, crushed
⅔or ¾ c. packed brown sugar - catered to your
own taste
2 Envelopes of either Lawry’s or McCormick
spaghetti sauce mix
(7 ½ oz._ can of sliced mushrooms, undrained
5 Precooked (for about 1 hour) mild Italian brats,
sliced into ½” pieces
Page | 112
Fold all ingredients together. Turn burner up to
medium high with careful monitored stirring and
scraping of the bottom of the stockpot until sauce
starts to bubble. Then turn down to low medium
(just so sauce slowly simmers) with lid placed ajar,
so steam escapes. At this time if you choose the
sauce could be placed into a cooking sprayed
crock pot turned on low if you are going to be gone
all day. Otherwise you need to simmer the sauce
on a low medium heat for 2 hours, stirring on and
off during the whole while (being sure to scrape
bottom good each time while stirring).
Serve this luscious sauce over cooked and drained
well, only linguine or fettuccine pasta. The Italians
say the thinner the pasta the better, because it
soaks up the sauce better. I have even tried Angel
Hair Pasta, it too was great! Once you drain the
pasta well, sprinkle a little olive oil over it and toss
so pasta doesn’t stick together. Optional sides:
garlic bread sticks, green beans, Jello salad.

Grilled Duck Kabobs

Mr. Guenther -District
Administrator/Elementary Principal
Several duck breasts

1 bottle Italian salad dressing (or marinade of your
choice)
1 pkg. bacon, sliced in half
Chunk the breast meat into 2 inch pieces and

place them in a gallon zip lock bag. Add the
dressing and seal the bag. Shake and squish the
bag around so that the dressing gets worked into

and let the meat marinate for about 12 hours. If
you have a vacuum packer you can use that but
still let it sit for several hours. After the marinating
process is done, warp a ½ slice of bacon around
each chunk. Then slide the bacon wrapped chunk
of meat onto a skewer. You can add veggies
between the meat or just load the skewer with
meat. Once the skewers are loaded place them on
a medium to hot grill to cook. Rotate the skewers

Wild Game Barbeque

Mr. Guenther- District
Administrator/Elementary Principal
This is a great recipe for any wild game, especially

those gamier tasting or tough meats like goose.
2 – 3 lbs. of wile game meat

1 pkg. of onion soup mix per 2-3 lbs. of meat
1 large bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce
Mix 1-3 cups of water per package of soup mix in a

slow cooker or Nesco. Add your cleaned, raw meat
into the mix (chunkier larger pieces aids cooking)
You may need to add some additional water if the
meat is not pretty much covered. Cook on low for
12 hours. The meat is done when you are able to
shred easily with a fork. If it shreds easily continue
shredding the rest of the meat. You should have a
big pile of shredded meat that is pretty good to eat
as is, but it gets better. Empty out the soup mix
and water from the slow cook and put the meat
back into cooker. Then add your barbeque sauce
to taste and mix well. Sometimes you can add a
Page | 141
little water to make sure the batch stays moist.
Cook again on low for 6-12 hours. The final
mixture is ready to eat and makes great barbeque
sandwiches or you can freeze portions for future
meals. No one will know it is wild game unless you
tell them!
