“This is by far, the best Spaghetti Sauce I have tasted! All those years of perfecting definitely paid off!”
“This sauce is better than restaurantquality. This is little old Italian lady quality….”
“This was fantastic! I will never go back to the jar sauce! Thank you!”
“THIS needs 100 Stars! This is the best Spaghetti Sauce I have ever had, including restaurants! We had company over for dinner and everyone wanted the recipe. My son was going fishing, and I had him taste the sauce (just as I put it on to simmer) and he stayed home to eat! NOTHING has ever kept him from fishing, need I say more!”

The recipe makes a good amount of sauce so I was able to make a spaghetti dinner one night and lasagna the next. The sauce is amazing in lasagna.

OMG I have to say this the best sauce I’ve ever made, we loved it.
The only thing I did different is I used Red Wine Vinegar instead of wine(we don’t drink wine) a good kind I think.
The other thing is I cooked my garlic with my onion, oh yeah one more I used half and half. Half sausage & half hamburger. I LOVE ❤️ THIS SAUCE!!!
Will definitely be a keeper, can’t wait to make Lasagna with the leftovers.

  Well you didn’t make that sauce as you stated,you made your sauce.Also,you don’t have to be a wine drinker to use wine in recipes.And by the way you mentioned “the only thing I did different” turned out to be 4 things you did different.

      You can buy little bottles of wine.They come in a cardboard carrier like a 6 pack of beer, only comes in a 4 pack.

I can testify that this is the BEST Spaghetti Sauce on he planet. I use 1 lb sausage & 1 lb ground beef but that is the only change I make. Once I made it with all ground beef because we had guests that don’t eat pork and it was just as good. For those of you who have jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon, 10 min is all it takes.
