Homemade Meat Sauce

Homemade Meat Sauce

It’s been a rough five days for Louisiana. This massive flood has caused so much devastation. But, Louisiana is full of resilient folks with huge hearts. We’ll help each other through it all. Today, I’m finally back in my kitchen! I filmed my meat sauce for you.

You can make a big batch of this and freeze it. Great for ziti, spaghetti, lasagna, or whatever you need a flavor packed red sauce for. For my vegans, just sub the meat for veggie crumbles. And you can serve this over spaghetti squash!

Love,
B. Coop
