Luke's Awesome Spaghetti Sauce

My husband is by no means a cook. But he can make killer spaghetti sauce. When we were first dating, he impressed me by cooking me dinner one evening, and it was the most delisious spaghetti sauce I have ever had. We now omit the jalopeno peppers, because our kids find it a little hot, but it is very good without too.
