Savory Spaghetti Sauce

Submitted by mattsgran

"This is my family's favorite spaghetti sauce. I used to use a canned sauce, but tried this one night and since then it is the only sauce my family will eat. It is super easy to double or triple and freeze for future use for either spahgetti, lasagna, or any other of your favorite pasta fillers. Easy to make, great flavor."

This is our favorite sauce too! I found this recipe in Taste of Home and have been making it ever since. I use the fresh garlic, minced (personal preference) and leave out the pepper. Try it... it is delicious and so simple to make!
