Nothing says home like a pot of homemade meat sauce. The aroma fills the house and warms me like a blanket. Can you tell I kiss the ground ITALIAN food walks on? I mean it truly is my favorite. For years I made my sauce from a jar and still do from time to time, but NOTHING is better than the taste of Soulfully Made food. When food comes from the soul and is made with love it tastes even better. Can you taste it now? It is so worth the extra effort!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup of yellow onion, diced
- 1 to 1.25 pounds of ground sirloin (you may also like to use half ground pork)

Thanks! It is super easy and very delicious! Give it a try and let me know how it goes
I will! It’s so easy to make! If you are feeding hungry kids and their friends I recommend doubling it! Especially if you cook it for hours it reduces!
This sounds amazing!! I think the next time you make it, you should invite me for dinner so I can taste how wonderful it is!!
