Get 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage into a pan to brown.

Cook until the meat is golden brown and fully cooked, then drain the fat from the pan.

While the meat cooks, take fresh garlic, give it a whack to break it down, and chop it into pieces.

In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the chopped garlic until golden brown to make garlic-infused oil.

Chop bell peppers and onions, then add them directly to the cooked meat in the pan.

Break down the meat into smaller pieces using a tool or spatula, ensuring it's not in meatball form.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it well to prevent blandness.

Add spaghetti noodles to the boiling water and cook for 11 minutes until they wilt and are al dente.

Season the cooked meat with black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and add tomato sauce.

Pour in the garlic-infused oil and stir everything together, letting it simmer to thicken the sauce.

Once the noodles are done, drain them and add them to the sauce, mixing them in to combine evenly.
