"I do the prep work in the morning and just let it simmer all day. When I get home, all I have to do is boil the spaghetti, brown some garlic bread and dinner is on."

Turned out delicious! It was a hit! Here is what I tweaked on the recipe: Used zuchini and spinach instead of mushrooms and celery Only used about 1/2 tsp chili powder Used only brown sugar not the white This turned out to be a chunky spaghetti sauce with all the vegetables in it(which I like.) Only thing I noticed is there is no way we could've stretched this out to feed 10-12 like the recipe says. I served 6 adults with it and there was none left over!
