MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI

I have made this for over 25 years and is exceptionally good and easy. It is delicious with a tossed salad and crusty garlic bread. It is not your traditional pasta and sauce, but an elegant one-dish meal. You can prepare it in the morning and it is all ready for the evening meal.

Million Dollar Spaghetti Sauce for a Crowd image

We cooked this tasty spaghetti sauce for a huge PTA fundraiser, People asked for the recipe. It makes enough for 50 servings but can be doubled, etc. Use separate pots for each recipe you cook. We cooked all this food in the school cafeteria kitchen. I had a lot of admiration for the school kitchen chefs after this one meal.
