I am a novice cook, so I picked this recipe because of the great reviews, and it seemed like it had pretty basic ingredients. All I can say is wow! It was absolutely wonderful. The only things I changed were I used mushrooms instead of green peppers (they give my dad heartburn) and I added about two tablespoons of olive oil even though I used meat. I also used fresh basil instead of dried. I don't know what people were saying about it being too chunky, I thought it stuck to the pasta perfectly and was thick and rich without being overwhelming. I am going to be making large batches of this to freeze!

THIS WAS A VERY TASTY RECIPE. I LIKE MY SAUCE A LITTLE MORE MEATIER SO I ADDED AN EXTRA POUND OF BEEF AND I ALSO ADDED A LITTLE MORE GARLIC AND SIMMERED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. VERY GOOD RECIPE THANKS FOR SHARING!

I used this recipe for lasagna. It is delicious! I made the sauce in the slow cooker the night before and let it cook for 4 hours. I added one tablespoon of brown sugar as suggested by the other reviewers. I took leftovers to my parent and they asked for the recipe! Thanks for sharing a terrific sauce that is already added to my recipe binder!!!! I'm looking forward to making another batch to freeze so it will be ready whenever I need it. PS-I used 2 cans of tomato sauce and two cans of whole tomatoes blended them up together; omitted the green peppers.

I didn't like this. It wasn't saucy enough. It was too chunky. It didn't have a good enough taste (and I simmered for AT LEAST the amount of time suggested). I won't be making it again. I made it for a big group of family, and was embarrassed that it wasn't good. :(

This sauce was good, but I thought it had too much onion and bell pepper. The sauce almost needed to be strained. It still had a good taste; however, I won't make this again.

I thought this was okay. It was a nice change from the spaghetti sauce in jars that we usually use. I did think there were too many peppers and onions, though.

Not as good as the spaghetti my mother made growing up... but pretty close. Awesome sauce and definately worth a try. In the beginning it will look like too much onion and green pepper--- it's not. It will cook down so you don't notice the chunks.

I will never buy sauce from a jar again. Easy and my whole family loved it. Used about one tablespoon of sugar instead of two.

I make this every couple of months and the family loves it. modifications/notes: I let simmer for 5-6 hours. Don't overdo the sugar.

This was a very quick and easy recipe. Although the taste was certainly good, I thought it needed more spicing up. We prefer a more spicy spaghetti sauce so will add additional garlic and oregano next time. I would recommend this when you want one in a hurry, but still want it homemade.

This was the best sauce I ever made. I used two cans of whole plum tomatoes instead and simmered it for two hours. I also added a pound of ground hot italian sausage in addition to the beef. It was very good and will be making this many times in the future. Thanks for your recipe!
