Italian Tomato Sauce With Meatballs and Sausage image

My best Italian Sauce. I make big batches and freeze it in containers for those nights we want a quick meal. My son says there is no better smell then the smell of my sauce simmering on the stove. I allow them a quick taste by dipping with a slice of Italian Bread.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with spaghetti or penne, but it's also great on its own.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. I made the meatballs and sauce ahead of time, and then I just reheated them when I was ready to serve. It was a great way to save time on a busy weeknight.

I'm not a fan of sausage, so I omitted it from the recipe. The meatballs were still delicious, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used a combination of ground beef and pork for the meatballs, and I added some red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra kick. It turned out great!

This recipe was a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly, but the meatballs fell apart and the sauce was burnt.
