I'm sure glad I don't live in White Bear Lake, MN. Or, if I did, I would hope there was another restaurant to eat in. This tasted worse than Ragu. Too tart and lacking any depth of flavor whatsoever. I'm sure the 5 star ratings all came from parents of children who regularly eat Spaghetti O's. Ugh.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this recipe, just I don't feel it was delicious...very good though, keeping it for my go to recipe for sauce. Did use 1.2 beef and 1/2 sausage. No disrespect to young cooks, but what I thought was so wonderful when I first started cooking and today are very different wish there was a place on reviews to check seasoned cook, just starting etc, if fact I think those first years when everything is new and great are a wonderful time in your life.

This is a FABULOUS meat sauce!!! I made one change and that was to use fresh basil since I had it on hand...Otherwise, I cooked as is and the results were so awesome!! I could not stop tasting the sauce! I used this sauce for my lasagna and I can't wait to try it! I am freezing the rest for future use. I am so glad I tried this! Way better than jar sauce. It tastes so great! Thanks for posting!!
