I had half the amount of ground meat for today's dinner (on a TIGHT budget) so I just added in more chopped pepper, mushrooms and another small onion. I also increased the basil and oregano. I also added a glug of red wine. I did let this simmer for an hour or so. Great goulash sauce. Very simple.

I added at least twice as many mushrooms and used ground beef. I also added lots of ground pepper. Very tasty.

Great tasting...with modifications...it is a five star, probably just three as is. little sugar, balsamic vinegar, about 1/4 c wine, no meat (used vegan meatballs from Trader Joe's - awesome!), red pepper and bay leaves.

Sauce is easy to make but I also had to add quite a bit more seasoning. I used Fresh Cuban Oregano and Basil from the garden, more minced garlic, and a good bit of salt to to cure the sweetness from the paste & sauce. Overall, the family was pleased and I will be making it again :)

Excellent! My family loved this......I am usually so traditional with my sauce and only make it one way and thats the way my mom taught me when I was a little girl. Tried something new and really enjoyed it. Made a few tiny changes. One was to use a lb of sweet turkey sausage out of the casing, cooked and crumbled instead of just ground turkey. A lot more flavor here. And I used 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes and one small paste instead of stewed tomatoes. I cooked my sausage and all veggies first in a lil olive oil and then transfered that to my crockpot with the tomatoes and all of the spices, I also added some garlic powder and used more than a pinch of the oregano and dried basil. I let this cook on high for several hours and it thickend nicely. I went for the crockpot method because I didnt want to keep checking and stirring.....The smell was amazing. Nice and chunky and full of veggies and sausage. Served over whole wheat thin spaghgetti. Made a nice amount too, I have a container that I will freeze for another meal in the near future. Thanks!

Good basic sauce! I did doctor it some so I can't honestly review as is, but I had not had much success with homemade spaghetti sauce up until this point.

I think this one is it, I followed the directions exept for the mushrooms because I was out. Also I added a little red wine and brown sugar. Wonderful homemade sauce, and all in one pan.

This was a great spaghetti sauce. Even my husband was a huge doubter when he found me browning turkey instead of beef, but even he liked this sauce. I did leave out the mushrooms since the kids and I are not fans, but putting them in would have made my husband even happier. This will be made again and again and again.
