I fiddled around with the original copy cat recipe until I got it where I wanted it and it tastes even better. Add more jelly and onion soup, if desired, but I found that more was too much.

YUM! this is delicious! The only change I made was that I used ground turkey in place of the ground beef. It was amazing! I never thought using grape jelly in spaghetti sauce but now I am hooked. It was a awesome ingredient. We didn't think it was to sweet. It's one of the best spaghetti sauces I have ever had. I used this over stuffed shells Stuffed Shells. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious sauce!

    This recipe was quite the surprise! I must admit I was very skeptical as I shopped for the ingrediants ( grape jelly you say??) This is very, very good! I used sliced fresh mushrooms instead of canned ones and sauteed them separately in a little olive oil before adding them to the sauce. This is a keeper!

    This was okay, but a bit too sweet. If I make it again I will only use a tablespoon of jelly. (Although it could be because I used the generic Safeway brand).

    This is a great sauce! My entire picky family loves it, and it is fabulous in the crock pot all day too if you are going for a come home dinner. My son doesn't like "chunks of tomatoes" in his sauce, so we substitute tomato sauce for stewed tomates and omit the mushrooms and peppers. This is also (without the beef) a great sauce for chicken parmesan!
