Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Mmmm.....this family recipe for spaghetti sauce looks SOO tasty--and simple!

It has been awhile since I shared a recipe with you, so I thought today could be a good day to share my in-law’s meaty spaghetti sauce recipe.  It is SUPER simple to put together, but hearty and delicious.

My mother-in-law got this recipe years ago from an Italian family that lived next door to them.  The Italian family used sausage in the recipe traditionally, but I’m not a big sausage person, so I just use ground beef when I make this spaghetti sauce.

I always double this recipe because it freezes beautifully as well!  Another great thing about this recipe is that you can add pureed vegetables to it as a sneaky mama move if you so desire.  It will change the flavor and consistency a bit, but it’ll still be tasty!

Spaghetti is one of the ultimate comfort foods in my book.  A hearty plate of spaghetti, especially with some warm breadsticks or garlic bread, is sure to warm you up on a chilly night or comfort you when you’re blue, dontcha thing?  Now let’s get cooking!
