Being one of the first recipes I learned to cook, and possibly the most delicious, this family recipe has got to be my favorite. Originally created by my grandmother, then passed down to my dad and now me, this thick meat sauce has impressed everyone who has tried it. This recipe is not only delectable, but it’s easy to make. Perfect for pizza, pasta, or just dipping bread in, this sauce will leave you wanting more.
