Wonderful and easy. Added an extra garlic clove and as no tomato paste was available added 2 cans of tomato sauce.

We vacationed in Italy this summer, and had meat sauce that was wonderful and very different from the typical American version; much more meaty with tomato used more as a seasoning. This recipe fulfilled my hopes of being much more like a true Italian meat sauce. It was outstanding and my family loved it! Even my 2 pickiest kiddos who have flatly refused to eat spaghetti in the past gobbled it up. I doubled the recipe, seasoned the meat with some Emeril's essence, added more garlic than called for. Also added a can of tomato sauce in place of one of the cans of beef broth(3 cans beef broth, 1 can tomato sauce). This is our new spaghetti recipe; we absolutely love it! If you like a meaty sauce, you should definitely try this one.

AWESOME!!! My family wanted spaghetti tonight, but I dreaded the regular old tomato/marinara sauce. I am pregnant and could just hear the heartburn calling my name. I saw this recipe and made it according to instructions (no mushrooms though) and I am in love!!! It was great. The flavor was just right. Not too acidic. The kids liked it. Hubby liked it. I made a large batch and we are freezing the rest!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the recipe!!

THE BEST! My family loves this sauce! I must make this once a week. My husband and kids tell me its the best sauce they've ever had. I make sure the hamburger is chopped up really well while I'm browning it. *-I've sworn off any other meat sauce-*

I thought this was really good. It was a nice change from my typical bolognese recipe-it had a lighter taste due to the addition of the veggies! Very good-will make again!

Loved having a beef style with no acidic tomato taste. simmering with the lid off for 2 hrs makes the sauce a perfect consistency. Family loves it

Good..I added a can of crushed tomatoes as I thought it was a bit too runny.

Hmmm...this was kind of like glorified spaghetti. I overlooked one of the important details of letting it simmer for 2 hours and it only simmered for 20 minutes but I don't think that would've helped all that much. The next day it was better. I actually preferred the beef taste as opposed to the tang of tomato but I probably won't make it again. I guess I thought it was going to more of an exotic taste.

Not a big fan of this sauce. It tastes too beefy (due to the amount of beef broth added)...no real hearty tomato flavor to it at all. I was disappointed.

This recipe is definitely a main stay. I added a half a pound of Italian sausage along with the ground beef, omitted the dried mint, because I couldn't find any. Kid tested positive.
