SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Spaghetti Sauce image

Chock-full of hearty meat and vegetables, this sauce freezes beautifully-so I serve some on the same day I cook it, then pack the rest in airtight containers and freeze for up to 6 months. It's convenient to have on hand when unexpected company drops in...or whenever your busy day doesn't allow much time for cooking "from scratch"!-Carol Ulliac, Atmore, Alberta

This sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar or maybe even omit it altogether.
