Wow, this is the BEST meat sauce EVER! I replaced the tomato paste with a can of diced tomatoes w/juice. Simmered for 1 hour. I cannot wait to make this again!!! Many thanks!

Sooo delicious and easy too! The only thing I changed was I did not have red pepper flakes, so I used ground red pepper and only used one table spoon. It was VERY spicy, and I love spicy food. Make sure you taste it after adding pepper so it is not too hot.

Followed recipe to the letter. Was OK, but alittle to salty. Also to thick for my taste. Will be better with some minor changes

This is the best meat sauce ever! I did have to add two cans of beef broth, otherwise it was way too thick. Just writing this review makes me want to make another batch right now!

Loved this simple sauce! My husband said it was the best meat sauce he's ever had. Pretty much followed recipe except for decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes to less than 1/2. (I have little ones, and worried that they could not handle the heat.) I also added 2 extra cans of tomato sauce. Really delicious and hearty.

My family and I love this sauce. I take a small amount out of the pot and transfer it to another pot before I add the red pepper flakes for my kids. I dont use as much salt as called for and I use onion powder to please the family. It is a huge hit, thanks for sharing.

Only used 1 lb. ground beef and it still turned out great. Cut the amount of oregano and basil in half, added a can of beef broth as recommended by some and only added 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Didn't have red pepper flakes. Also used Splenda instead of sugar. We loved it.
