This is a great recipe, especially for people who love a very meaty sauce. I find that when you cook meat in the sauce, the sauce becomes more greasy and runny and doesn't stick to the noodles. I make this same exact sauce without any meat, and then add meat to the pasta dish and it works a lot better for me. You can use this same recipe without the meat and add a 6 oz can of tomato paste to make pizza sauce.

The men in my family loved it...I think it was a bit too thick with all the meat. Although, I did not puree it. The flavor was very good. I think next time I will use less meat. But, still yummy!

This was my first attempt at sauce and I loved it. I did add some mushrooms, green pepper, red pepper. And I used ground turkey instead of beef and turkey sausage instead of pork.

This is so good!- I used ground veal and beef to avoid the final step of the food processor and it came out great! I also added a little sugar b/c I like my sauce a little sweet. It was a lot of sauce- enough for a small baked ziti last night- a large one for the freezer and then for spaghetti tonight! I will make again and again! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the rave reviews! Just wanted to say that like many of you, i've often substituted grounds meats and i've also used ground turkey instead of beef to cut back on the fat, although there is a taste difference when you use turkey instead of beef (not bad at all, but something is definitely lacking).

Excellent & tasty sauce. Usually just make up sauce from scratch. My friend enjoyed this almost as much. He likes "hot" included in his food, I used 2 small serano peppers chopped finely. Came out great!!

I'v been making this for years. The only thing I do differently is I have started grinding my spices up. It shortens the simmering time to about an hour.So when I get home from work at 4pm I can still have dinner on by 6:30 if I hurry. I also use whole wheat pasta with flax seed from hodgson mills.

Delicious! I had never before made any kind of sauce from scratch and now my husband thinks I'm a gourmet chef. This was so easy - but I won't tell him that... I used ground beef, ground veal and sweet basil Italian sausages. I also added a splash of red wine about 15 minutes prior to serving but I only let the sauce simmer for 1 hour. My family was starving at the time and the aroma made it impossible to wait any longer. The recipe made enough sauce that I could freeze half. The sauce would be great for lasagna too so I'll try that next time. I will make this again and again and again! Thanks Grandma!!!

Such a simple recipe, with simple items. I never thought to "grind" the meat to make a smoother consistency, but it sure made for a really nice meat sauce that my 11 year old and the rest of the family liked. The round steak gave a nice meaty flavor. I did not use veal, but used freshly ground beef (15%). That was the only change. Used a hand immersion blender. Will use this great recipe when I need a great meat sauce!

Absolutely wonderful. The only change I made was to add the wine which was suggested, fresh basil, dried thyme, & sliced fresh mushrooms, didn't cook first just added to sauce. I did use hot Italian sausage instead of sweet, I always use hot. Enjoy. The only change necessary would be the choice between the hot & sweet, everything else I am sure everyone would like.

I did it with 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground pork. I only simmered it for perhaps an hour, with no procesor. Man did my family rave. I had over seasoned it accidentially and hit it with a dark red wine and it still rocked! What an adaptable recipe thanks for sharing

Not much flavor in this sauce, it tasted mostly of meat. I did not care for it and would not make this again. I could see where it would maybe work in a lasagna where you get your flavor from other ingredients. My husband says he liked it, so I would say try it for yourself.

I used a little over a pound of hot Turkey sausage and 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef for the meats, and I added 1/4 tsp. of crushed red pepper and a 1/2 cup of red wine. Yum! A new favorite!
