In a pinch for tonight’s dinner? Spaghetti is always an easy meal to prepare for a family due to the sauce being the most “intricate’ part of the dish, and the key ingredient is patience. Here is a super simple mostly hands-off meaty spaghetti sauce for whatever dish you want to top it off with.
While this Italian style spaghetti sauce recipe calls for ground beef, feel free to experiment and change that ingredient to any other of our meat products we have
available. This will just add an extra step of cutting the meat down to the desired size for your sauce.
