    My kids always said my sister's spaghetti sauce was better than mine...well they are not saying that now. They LOVED this sauce. It made so much that I sent them home with big bowls of the sauce. The only thing I did different was add a little sugar to cut the acidity and used all beef and Italian sausage instead of all three meats (it's what I had in the freezer. I'm making this again on Sunday for a family dinner. Thank you Mama!

    This sauce takes me right back to the rich meaty sauce my Dad used to make. It thickens nicely. I did, however, adjust the spices to my own taste, but included them all.. Using the three different meats gives it a rich flavor. This is the sauce I will be making from now on!

    Let me start by saying that I'm more of a rocket scientist instead of a cook! And that is saying alot. But I wanted to try this recipe. It came out fantastic! So much better then the jar kind. But I did play around with it. I added 4 cans of paste and a can of diced tomatoes. I like mine thick but if you don't you need more sauce. I also added sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. I didn't measure, just till it wasn't so biting, but definitely not sweet. I added more Italian seasoning to taste. I like how you brown the meat and then just add the rest of the ingredients, see not rocket science! If you have the time you can make this sauce!

    These reviews were pretty convincing, so I tried the recipe, even though I was skeptical about the tomato paste being enough of a base. It was fantastic and made me look like a rock star in the kitchen! I gave some to the grandmas for their freezers, and my mom called me to tell me it was the best she's ever had! (She's 80 this year! I posted the step-by-step instructions with silly commentary here: http://mrs4444cooks.blogspot.com/2008/12/spaghetti-from-heaven.html

    This sauce has gotten me more compliments on my cooking than anything else I've ever served. It is fabulous! Thank you.

    It was amazing! I doubled the garlic, basil, and italian seasoning and it was awesome. Make sure you use the 6oz tomato paste jars.

    OK, I will admit that this recipe is pretty darn good. Tastes great. However, there should have been some more information with this recipe. First off, I don't know what other people have in the way of "large saucepans", but my biggest one didn't come close to fitting 3 lbs of meat, 5 cans of tomato paste, 10 cans of water, and everything else the recipe calls for. I knew enough to transfer the meat to a huge dutch oven pot and it still would not fit all of the ingredients. I had to (messily transfer half to another pot. And the mess! The stuff bubbles like lava in a volcano. Huge bubbles would pop and send red sauce everywhere! All over my stove top, onto the floor, and even the wall behind the oven. I had to find a happy medium with the heat, and also cover it with one of those pan screens. As I said, the end result is good, but the recipe should warn that you need either a gargantuan pot, or should cut the recipe in half. t should also warn of how potentially messy cooking this can be.

    I have some of this in the freezer from my last batch. This is delicious sauce. It is worth the four hours of simmering, even for those of us who find it hard to be home for that many hours in a row.

    It's great and easy. My family and extended family always want me to make the sauce. It's make a lot and at home I divide it up and freeze it.
