Receta Spaghetti Meat Sauce
Spaghetti Meat Sauce
When I make a batch of Meat Sauce, I make a Big Batch! You can never have enough Meat Sauce!! I like to freeze the meat sauce in gallon size, ziplock freezer bags, with about 3-4 cups per bag. Then when I want to make Lasagna, Manicotti, Baked Ziti, or have Spaghetti Dinner Night, half the work is done:) Enjoy!
