    Kittencalskitchen's Note:

    I don't think you will find a better meat sauce than this one! a good tomato sauce needs time to "ripen" so I strongly suggest to make this sauce a few day ahead and refrigerate just warm in a saucepan before using you will see that the flavors strongly intensify after refrigeration time --if you want a creamy sauce just add in 1/4 cup or more of heavy whipping cream the last 30 minutes of cooking time, this may be doubled if desired but keep the ground beef amount at one pound, this also freezes well... you will *love* this!

      Wow!!! This was soooo good!!! EVERYONE loved this! I've made so many sauce recipes, searching for a good one, and this is the first one I've ever made that meets my expectations. Actually, it surpassed them. It's by far the best that I've tried, so 5 stars are not enough! Just wanted to mention that I've made this without the ground beef and sausage, and it comes out just as delicious! Oh yeah...and if you have kids, you may want to reduce the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp. 1 tsp. was a little too spicy for mine...they still ate it though!!;)

      I really liked the consistency of the sauce, as well as the way the meat was cooked into the sauce. However, despite all the herbs, I found this sauce lacking in flavour.

      First of all, I am surprise that this recipe only garnered this few reviews as this is hands down the BEST pasta sauce. Like Dolores, I have also tried Jo Mama's World Famous and I found it to be bland and I needed to double the spices to get some flavour in it. However, I made ZERO changes to this recipe; followed it to the 'T' and it's perfect. This will be the only way I will cook pasta sauce. Thank you, Kitten, because of you my search for the perfect pasta sauce has come to an end.
