Sicilian Meat Sauce
Sicilian Meat Sauce is the best spaghetti sauce on earth! Our family absolutely LOVES this recipe!
I am just going to go ahead and say it. This is THE BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE I have ever had. My hubby and kiddos agreed. The recipe calls for half a pound of both Italian sausage & ground beef so I froze the other half pound of each and as soon as I tasted it, I was regretting that I didn’t just go ahead and double it. In fact, I am making it again this week and will be sure to double it 😉 This would be a GREAT recipe to make extra and freeze for busy nights!
I can already tell this is going to end up being a several times a month meal around here, just like Nana’s Flavorful Fajitas and our Family Favorite Meatloaf. Give it a try and see if it replaces your old favorite spaghetti sauce!
