I have been wanting to try a new sauce recipe and now, well after reading all these great reviews, I'm off to make the sauce. My family will be home after 5 today, so I'll be back with a final comment after they have eaten. I will say in advance, thank you Stephani for posting and thank you every one else for commenting. Later!

This was the first time I made homemade sauce, and my husband and kids loved it this was the best spaghetti we ever had.

I haven't tried this recipe yet. Just wanted to say to the poster who asked about if you put the meat in cooked or raw. You should cook it in a skillet or hot pan first. The braising of the outside of the meat gives it tons more flavor. Bon Appetit.

Reeally found this recipe easy and tasty. I added cooked ground beef with hickory smoked sausage, and Ragu traditional spaghetti sauce with other listed ingredients. I also included a dash of Slap Your Mama Seasoning with a cup of sugar to blend all of the flavors.

Great Recipe! I was concerned at first at using fresh onions and garlic and the powder as well, but it turned out good. I did have to use a little sugar to cut the tomato acidity. I think next time it will try it with Italian sausage/ ground sirloin meatballs.

This is just about the same recipe I have used for forty years. I use link Italian sausage (mild). I par-boil then brown in pan and add to the sauce. I also add Romano cheese as cooking. Cook for as long as I can, most of the time all day. I for got I also stir in a tsp. of baking soda very early to cut the acid. You have to cook a long time to get rid of the soda taste. Some times a little sugar

I was getting sick and tired of my mothers pasta she was making it was so plain. My daughter is half Italian so im trying to stick to her roots a little and in a big fan of pasta do I decided to make it on my own. I love this sauce, I couldn't have picked a better one. I'm going to make it again but in a large amount, so I can save it and cook it for lunch or a late night snack.

I needed a quickie homemade spaghetti sauce recipe, and I'm glad I tried this one. The only question is, why does it have to cook for at least 6 hrs? The only fresh ingredient I had on hand was parsley, everything else came from my spice rack. I'm still simmering it as I type, but do I really have to wait so long? So far, it tastes great!

I would cook this in the slow cooker. Saves on gas.

This was a great base for the initial recipe. I used in addition to above 2 small cans of the Rotel Tomato Sauce, the juice from a can of regular hot Rotel. I also in a different pan browned 1 pound of Italian hot sausage and 1 pound of regular ground beef and added to the sauce. Cooking on a gas stove made it cook faster so cook time was about 4 hours to 4 1/2 But it was a really good baseline since I never made homemade pasta sauce before. Had rite amount of spice, and the family loved it even the kid!!!

Thank you, this is the closest recipe to what my mom used to make!

Is really really good. I used this recipe for my first time making homemade. Took others advice and added a 1/2 cup sugar, green and red pepper, and celery, I also made my own homemade Italian seasoning!! Was awesome! Thank you!

I have made this sauce several times and it is always excellent. I added a bay leaf, beef bullion and about halfway through, some baked meatballs. I did use extra garlic and a couple of teaspoons of sugar. It came out great!

Love this, I added a jalapeno for some heat and it was great. Perfect for canning =)

Best recipe I have ever found! I added a couple of bay leaves and instead of chopped tomatoes, I used tomato sauce. As it is cooking, we add sugar to cut down on the acid. Thanks Stephanie!

This is so yummmmmy

I live in a house with a chef so cooking good food is a way of life around here!! this was fabulous!! I did put extra garlic and chicken stock and a dash of sugar after reading all the suggestions and I'm gonna add one of my own... about 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper for some zip!!!
