Pseudo Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

So, we just got back from vacation, and I did manage to get groceries, but I wanted something easy and yummy. I adore pasta, in just about any variety, but my husband won't eat just spaghetti and sauce. He wants it heartier. So, I throw this together every once in a while, and I can usually get enough out of it to freeze enough for another dinner.

Please be advised that measurements are approximate. I tend just to toss stuff in, especially with things I make often.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 a large onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
dash black pepper
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 or 3 cups jarred spaghetti sauce (depending on how saucy you like it)

Brown ground beef. Drain and set aside. Saute onions and garlic, then add beef back to the pan. Add the can of tomatoes, spices and sauce. Simmer on low until heated through. Serve over hot pasta.
