This was delicious!!!! I was looking for a meaty sauce this time rather than making meatballs and decided to try this. I made as directed with the exception of instead of 2 lbs. ground beef, I did a mix of 1 lb. (meatloaf mix type)ground beef and 1/2 lb. crumbled italian sausage and 1/2 lb. pepperoni chunks. I did add the sugar and used extra parmesan. Soooo yummy is now in my permanent cookbook file.
