EdgyK's Spaghetti Sauce

I kind of created this from trying several different recipes. So I didn't come up with it completely on my own. We have spaghetti every Monday night. Now that I make this I don't like the taste of store bought sauce. I canned some last year from the tomatoes I had grown but that was a lot of work for only a few quarts.

1 can diced tomatoes
2 small cans or 1 large can tomato sauce
2 tsp. Italian seasoning*
1/2 cup chopped peppers**
2 tsp. diced garlic
3 Tbsp. dried, minced onion or 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. beef bouillon
pepper

Optional:
ground fennel seeds

Mix everything together in a saucepan and let simmer 20 minutes. Add meatballs or ground beef if you want. Serves 6-8 people.

*I use Penzey's Tuscan sunset
**I buy 4 or 5 red and yellow peppers, chop them and freeze them. I like to make my sauce fresh each week.
