Easy Meaty Spaghetti

Submitted by sweetpgrl8

"The spaghetti is very quick to make and tastes delicious. It tastes like you spent all day over the stove. It makes a very large batch and also freezes well. Sometimes I change up the different flavors of sauce and still is very delicious."

Great recipe! This makes quite a bit of sauce which I ended up freezing for a later date- which was just as delicious the second time around!
