tasty recipe. My husband liked it and will definitely add to the family rotation as a change from my marinara and meatball recipe. Is easier prep & cook with the meat sauce than rolling out meatballs. My young kids (both 5 & under) did not care for the texture of the meat sauce though. They prefer regular tomato/ marinara.

Best homemade sauce i have made! I added a little anise seed to mine, I like the licorice taste of fennel and anise! Will definitely make this again! And, it’s so easy!!!!

Delicious! Everyone in the family enjoyed it. I used all 90% beef, no sausage, and it was still very flavorful.

My go to meat sauce recipe!! I add jalapeños in with the onions for a spicy kick! Love it!! It’s so easy and the flavor will speak for itself 😊😊

It was pretty good. Next time I would add less crushed tomatoes and more beef broth and beef flavouring as it was more tomatoey than my normal lasagna. It was still good though - especially if you like sweeter, tomatoey meat sauces for your dishes. A good recipe!

This meat sauce recipe was delicious. I didn’t have any fennel, and it was still very good. The whole family loved it!

Excellent and so simple to make. After I browned the meat I threw everything in the slow cooker and it turned out so yummy!
