I got the original recipe from Once a Month Cooking but have added several changes...like burger as well as Sausage....Italian seasonings....more tomatoes and sauce ect. My family loves this sauce and they always come back for more. keep in mind that this recipe makes quit a bit of sauce. I make a big batch and then freeze the extra.
