I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really bland. It was missing flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was burnt, and the meat was tough. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This sauce was okay, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for. I found it to be a bit bland, and the meat was a little tough.

I've tried many Bolognese recipes, and this is by far the best. The sauce is so flavorful and complex, and the meat is cooked to perfection.

This was my first time making Bolognese sauce, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the sauce was delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is so flavorful and versatile - I've used it with pasta, over polenta, and even as a pizza topping.

This Bolognese sauce was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the meat was tender and juicy. I especially appreciated the tip about browning the meat in batches - it really made a difference in the final product.
