Million Dollar Spaghetti Sauce for a Crowd image

We cooked this tasty spaghetti sauce for a huge PTA fundraiser, People asked for the recipe. It makes enough for 50 servings but can be doubled, etc. Use separate pots for each recipe you cook. We cooked all this food in the school cafeteria kitchen. I had a lot of admiration for the school kitchen chefs after this one meal.
