Speedy, Meaty Spaghetti Sauce

Submitted by MatahnasMom

"This is my stepmother's recipe for spaghetti sauce. It's super-easy to make, and tastes great. My husband actually prefers this recipe over the made from scratch, simmered all day version I used to make--go figure! lol! Less than 30 minutes from start to table, makes this a great weeknight meal. Round out with garlic toast & a green salad."
