This was really good.... I fixed it a tad bit different though... I made some meatballs and placed the sauce on the stove top and simmered it with the meatballs in it for about 3 1/2 hours instead of placing it in the oven....I served this for dinner to my in laws.... It also made enough that I'll be freezing some for another meal... Thanks so much for sharing....
