Plus, did I mention it was really good? There's something very satisfying about watching simple ingredients transform themselves into something special after hours on the stove.
In my house it is known as The Spaghetti Sauce Everybody Likes. I started making it when my kids were small, and up until my husband had a heart attack, I made it with all the ground beef & pork & cream etc. Now, I make it with lean ground turkey, and 1% milk.

I have gotten use to the low fat versions of food. I use to love kielbasa, boy was it good!, but I hadn't had it in years because of the household dietary changes. Last summer at a bbq, someone brought kielbasa and, yum!, I grabbed a piece - took a bite and yuck! could not eat it - it was sooo greasy.
