Of course I doctored it, but I like the addition of cinnamon.

Excellent robust sauce. I used 1.5 lb. of turkey, instead of meat, but made no other changes.

The cinnamon and allspice were questionable when reviewing the recipe, but added something different (good different) to the sauce. My husband and I both liked it and I plan to make it again. On a side note, it makes a lot of sauce so we ate spaghetti for several days!

We loved this one! The allspice and cinnamon add that "something elusive" to the flavor. I used 1 lb. ground turkey and 1 lb. lean ground beef. I also used about 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms rather than canned. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

Impressive! Only made very minor changes... doubled the mushrooms, cut the meat in half, used red wine vinegar, didn't have any allspice so I added some ground cloves and nutmeg, and doubled the black pepper. I must admit I was a bit wary, but this is definitely a keeper!

I wasn't sure what to expect but this turned out beautifully. It has a great flavor and the left-overs are even better! I only used one pound of ground beef and kept the remainder of the recipe exactly the same. It came out perfectly. I think two pounds would be too much meat...

It was very good but be careful with the cinnamon. I did not have allspice so I upped the cinnamon a tad. Do not add extra cinnamon. If anything, use a little less than is recommended.

I had made meatballs to go w/spaghetti for dinner and realized I had no sauce, so I found this recipe and although I had to tweak it (not all ingredients on hand), I found it surprisingly good. I skipped the mushrooms (don't like canned ones anyway) and used dry parsley instead of fresh. I also ended up crumbling some of the meatball "leftovers" into the sauce instead of straight ground beef. I'll use this again, and not just when I'm in a pinch!

Just a twist of unique flavor to enhance the "old sauce". Definitely worth a try! I omitted the onion mix, but added hot Italian sausage, browned and cut up and brown sugar.

I was slightly disappointed in this recipe. It was missing something. The cinnamon and allspice were great flavours, but it didn't have any zip. The crushed tomatoes overpowered everything (maybe next time half stewed tomatoes and half crushed?). I tried adding Worchestershire, some maple syrup, some cayenne (and I don't even like spicy) - nothing seemed to give it some zip. I think adding some chili powder and kidney beans would make this a great chili recipe but definately not a great spaghetti sauce. Sorry. :-(

I skipped the onion soup mix, and used a bottle of premade spaghetti sauce. It smelled heavenly while simmering, and the cinnamon added a unique sweetness that was excellent.

No No NO This is wrong. You NEVER add cinnamon to spaghetti sauce. I told my husband if he ever did it again I would kill him. IT IS WRONG!
