Spaghetti Sauce with Meat

Rich, thick spaghetti sauce, chock full of meat and just the right amount of seasonings, slowly simmered for full flavor.You can add more spices or herbs to suit your taste. I sometimes substitute port wine for 1/2 of the water. 1 Whenever I make this sauce, I double the recipe and freeze it in portion sizes that fit my families appetites. On days I don’t have time to cook a full meal, I grab some sauce out of the freezer and boil my pasta…and dinner is served!
