mama millie' s spaghetti sauce
This recipe was my mother's , but I have made a few changes to put my own spin on it. It is always a family favorite. Now I'm passing it on to my daughter, and I'm sure she will make her own changes to make it her own and to suit her family's taste ! It takes a while but is so worth it. I guarantee that after smelling it cook for a couple of hours or more, everyone's mouth will be watering ! It's even better the next day. The longer you cook it the better it is.
