Hi Sissylu, I have made your recipe twice now. The first time I made it exactly as written. The second time I added some chopped green pepper along with the onions. I also threw in some browned Italian sausage and Kittencals Melt in Your Mouth Meatballs and let it simmer for a couple of hours. The consistency of the sauce is fabulous. We don't like our spaghetti sauce to be runny or too thick. This sauce turned out perfect each time I made it. Thanks for posting a delicious recipe.

I live in Arkansas, and no, not on a farm nor in the "country"...I guess you could say I'm a city chick, but a true southern girl at heart.
I work full time in the office for a major manufacturing company whose products are bought and shipped worldwide.
I am single (at the moment), and have no human children, but I'm the proud mother of 3 cats, of whom I love dearly (and they love me!).
I have lots of hobbies, but my favorite of course, is collecting good recipes. And that is why I love recipezaar so much because of the wonderful recipes I get!
