Start by making homemade cornbread in a large bowl.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising yellow cornmeal to the bowl.

Add around 1/3 cup sugar to the cornmeal and mix.

Add 2 large eggs to the mixture.

Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the bowl.

Eyeball and add about 1 cup of buttermilk, mixing until it comes together.

Add 1 cup all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix well.

Use 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter to grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet.

Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet and bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes.

In a large pan, add cooking oil and 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Add 1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder, cracked black pepper, seasoned salt blend, paprika, granulated garlic powder, and dehydrated minced onion to the beef.

Cook the ground beef until browned.

Add the 24 oz jar of marinara sauce to the cooked beef and mix.

Fill the empty marinara jar with water and add it to the pan to ensure enough liquid for the spaghetti.

Mix everything together and taste to adjust seasoning.

Once it starts to simmer, add the spaghetti, pushing it into the sauce.

Keep the sauce at a constant simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes until the spaghetti is cooked to your preference.

Cook frozen green beans with butter and seasonings in a separate pan until done.

Serve the spaghetti, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes.
