THIS DISH IS TO DIE FOR!!!! TRULY! I am so glad I made this! I used a 26 oz. jar of sauce so I could mix a little bit in with the meat mixture to moisten it up a bit. It's really amazing the flavor you get out of jarred sauce when you add in the wine! I did add serrano peppers to the meat mix for a little heat. I also added another cup of mozzerella ontop of the dish so it would be super gooey! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dish!!! Thanks for yet another keeper Di!
