Spaghetti and Meatsauce Recipe
I will make this soon, and take photos. I love the addition of bacon in it. It just rounds out all of the flavors in this sauce. It freezes well too! I would also recommend using some with My Spaghetti Pie recipe.
The picture below is a double recipe.
This is my Aunt Janet’s recipe for Spaghetti and Meatsauce. I think it is the best ever. We’ve been using this recipe for over 30 years!
