No need to plan dinner tonight, I have that covered for you! This Italian Meat Sauce is an excellent go-to recipe that all family members will LOVE.

Italian Meat Sauce

This delicious and easy Italian Meat Sauce is a favorite of mine and a recipe I make often. My mother-in-law shared this with me years ago, and I haven’t bought a canned sauce since. It is thick, hearty, and has a fantastic flavor. You could make it early morning and let it simmer all day! I always think the longer the tomatoes cook, the better the sauce.

It is also a perfect recipe to make ahead if you are going to be entertaining and it is just as great warmed up for those slide nights! (My Favorite night!)
