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!

WOW!! Instead of Veal and beef cubes I used a ground veal, beef and pork mix available in the meat section of your local grocery store. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly. This sauce was delicious!! It freezes well too :)

Wow, my Italian boyfriend was impressed and said this was better than our favorite restaurant's sauce. I followed the recipe as is and it came out delicious. Thank you!

If your looking for the ultimate Meat Sauce, this is it!!! Its AWESOME !!!! I did make a few changes to it I used Hot Italian sausgaes instead of sweet, 1/2 tsp of thyme a dash of salt and used ground beef instead of the steak. I also like vegetables in my sauce so I added some onions, celery and mushrooms. I added 1/5 a cup of red wine near the last 15 minutes of cooking as well. Next time I might add a little sugar. It was great, this one is a keeper. Thank you!

This recipe is FABULOUS! I did make a few changes though. I substituted the veal and steak with ground turkey (less fat), I seasoned the meat and added chopped onion while browning and I added chopped mushrooms to the simmering sauce. Plus I was only patient enough to let it simmer for about 45 min. I used it as a lasagne sauce. The sauce was slightly runny when I assembled the lasagne, but thickened quite nicely in the oven. My husband said it was restaurant quality. I gave half the lasagne to my mom, and she asked for the recipe because she & her husband liked it so much! I will definitely make this again!

My husband and I thought this recipe was definitely restaurant quality. I substituted turkey italian sausage for the regular italian sausage to save on fat and I used ground sirloin and ground pork instead of cubed veal and steak. If you are looking for a fresh gourmet tasting sauce this is the sauce for you!
