Spaghetti Sauce with Meat
"This recipe is a crowd pleaser. Makes enough for a big crowd or freeze some. For a meatier sauce add another pound of hamburger. For a thicker sauce put 28 oz less tomatoes in. Mushrooms can also be added.

This was a wonderful meat sauce. I did not tweak it that much. After halving the recipe, I added a 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and added a bit of flour and water. It was thick, meaty, delicious, devoured. The kids liked it, but more importantly, the wife did too! I'll be making this again. -
This was very good sauce. However, I was looking for something a bit thicker with more of a stronger flavor. I added 2 lbs of ground beef too but the sauce itself was just a tad thin for my liking but the flavor was very good. If I do make this again I will make some adjustments. Very good sauce though. Thank you so much for the recipe. -
This recipe makes a novice look like they know what they're doing. It tastes great and of course the kitchen smells great too. Thanks Jack's wife -
I made this for my large family last night, and everyone gave it two thumbs up, even my pickiest eaters. We all loved it! I added an extra pound of meat for a meatier sauce, but instead of more ground beef, I added some ground pork and chopped farmers sausage.

This sauce is the best! It reminds me of the sauce my mom used to make me as I was growing up. Thanks for the recipe!
