I used about 700 g of lean ground beef. I used a jar of marinara sauce. It's a great sauce. DH raved about it. Thanks Mama Sweet Rolls :) Made for the best of 2011 tag game

This is a tasty way to liven up a jar of spaghetti sauce. I did not have mushrooms and we did not miss them. This is a good weeknight sauce for spaghetti as it does not take very long to make. Thank you for posting. Made after I adopted Mama Sweet Rolls for 2011 Fall PAC
