"After searching for a tomato sauce that didn't taste like it was only for spaghetti, I set out to make my own," writes David Shields from Barberton, Ohio. "The result was this thick versatile sauce featuring ground beef and lots of herbs. It's great on pizza, too."

The sauce was a little too thin. I would recommend simmering it for a longer period of time next time.

This slow-cooked spaghetti sauce is a game-changer! The flavors are incredibly rich and complex, and the meat is fall-apart tender. I served it over spaghetti, but it would also be great with meatballs or sausage.
