We love this sauce. I make it on Sundays. I use Kittencal's melt-in-your-mouth parmesan meatballs for the meat. I throw all the ingredients in the crockpot by 8am (I usually make two-times the amount of sauce), and it is ready by the time we get home from church at 1 (we live a ways). I make the meatballs in advance and freeze them. I throw them in frozen and uncooked. It makes a nice quick meal.

This was okay. I thought the seasonings were a bit overwhelming - my kids thought so too. But it served its purpose in being a quick sauce to throw together for a late supper tonight.

I made this on a night I was craving Spaghetti. It came out great. I added some fresh roasted Hatch Green chilli's to the beef when I was cooking it and it added a great flavor to the beef. I put about 1/2 a cup for the one pound of beef.
