    Was looking for my mother's old recipe and could not find it. This looked similar particularly the sauce, plus onion and green pepper. However too much meat and too thick more a heavy meat sauce but tasty. I will try this again with less meat and more liquids to mix better with pasta.

    I have never been able to make spaghetti sauce that tasted good. But when I tasted this, I new it was going to give a repeat performance. I add meatballs to the sauce and a little meat also, because my husband likes meat in his. It's so easy to make, and very good.

    After years of wtered down and not very good, I searched for a new kind of sauce, this is soooo good. everyone loved it, my 11 year old said mom it has flavor, it is good. Then the kicker was the next morning hearing, that sauce was great you have to make that again. It was so easy! It is in the family recipes forever now.

    LOVE this! So good and has such a different taste then any of the others I've tried. And all the people saying this isnt authentic. Well really?! Do you see the name. Alice Jo doesnt sound like an Italian lady to me.

    I loved this recipe and so did my family! It tastes just like what my mom always made for our family when I was growing up! This recipe is very simple too... who needs sauce in a jar or can that taste so artificial when the real is so simple! Yummmm! And it gets better when it reheated and served the next day!!!

    I love to cook and try new things. I'd never even thought about trying to make my own spaghetti sauce, but when all I had in the cabinet was off brand sauce... I was more hesitant to use that! Found this recipe and tried it. I only made a few minor additions, I added some crushed red pepper and fresh ground black pepper, and added another clove of garlic. Oh, and also I didn't have any "italian seasoning", so I used what I had, some oregano and fresh thyme! yumm-o!

    At first I gotta say I was a bit hesitant. However when I ate it, I could taste all the different flavors, the bell pepper, the sweetness from the sugar (though not over powering at ALL, and even the slight hint of the spice from the red pepper.

    My friends all raved about it, their favorite part was the flavor the bell pepper added! This is definitely going in my recipe book, and I will use this above store bought ALL the time.

    P.S. .... This was just as great left over! didn't get dry when reheating at ALL.

    Are you sure 1 Tablespoon of Italian seasoning is the answer. I thought it made it taste too licorice-y. Sorry we didn't care for it!!!.

    Still Puckering

    I made this because I read some of the reviews bashing this recipe because it's not "Italian" enough for some. Well guess what, read the title of the recipe, does not say "Italian" that I can see. Food snobs are an annoying breed.

    Anyway, I didn't follow this recipe to a tee, I threw in a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and little extra garlic. I don't stock Italian seasoning so I substituted oregano. The only stewed tomatoes I had on hand had basil in the mix but I couldn't taste it in the end product. I left out the sugar mainly because I forgot to add it, and thought it tasted just fine without. Super easy to make, and the taste is great, even if its not "Italian" enough for some of the critics. Will double this the next time I make it and freeze some.
