Another great recipe! As soon as I smelled this wonderful sauce I was dying to have a taste, since there was raw meat in there, I had to wait! LOL My DH was asleep and the smell woke him up LMAO I let him taste a meatball and the first thing he said was MMMM great sauce! His late grandmother was Italian and he loved her sauce, he said your's was only 2nd to hers LOL I guess this will be the sauce from now on since we don't have her recipe. BTW, I only used 2 28oz cans of puree and one 28oz can of tomatoes, that made a TON of sauce....116oz seemed like way too much, are those industrial sized cans? lol Thank you so much for posting this!
