Farm Fresh Beef Meat Sauce for Meal Prep with Easy & Unique Serving Ideas

One of the most popular meals in my home is spaghetti with meat sauce, and it’s safe to say it’s the hearty fuel that helped my raise up three strapping boys, now ages 16, 19 and 22. The family has a particular brand they LOVE, and if I stray or get adventurous with homemade, they groan and say . . . “it’s different.” Farm Fresh Beef Meat Sauce

It’s an off-the-hook flavor combination! Read on to get the recipe: Continue reading
