Mama’s Homestyle Spaghetti

I think everyone’s mama makes the best spaghetti sauce… spaghetti is a childhood staple, and let’s face it, it feeds a crowd and the leftovers are always amazing. Some of the best memories are centered around Mama’s sauce!

I have a few recipes in my arsenal, but this is kinda my favorite.. and since it’s kiddo and hubbyman approved, it’s worth writing.
