My father is very opinionated, especially about food. This recipe received his almost unreachable stamp of approval. I have yet to hear a disagreement from anyone who has tried it! —Melissa Taylor, Higley, Arizona

Awesome. Cooked for 10 HRS and it turned out perfect. Nice texture. Great for cooking while at work!

Excellent - I'm no chef but every time I make this EVERYONE asks for the recipe and raves about it for days. Highly highly recommend this one.

This is the best and tastiest sauce I have ever tasted. I cook this often, and keep plenty in the freezer. For the diced tomatoes, I uses the "petite cut". LOVE this recipe!

I made this for dinner for me and my boyfriend and it was delicious. It made a lot but I always like to leave some leftovers at my boyfriend's house so I know that he will eat well when I'm not there to cook for him. I put 3-32 oz containers into his freezer. However, I decided to take one home with me because I decided I wanted more within the same week. Great stuff!!

This was wonderful. I cut the recipe in half. I thought that it was too much. Now I wish that I had not. A must try.

Goodness gracious. Most of you reviewers must be old biddy Negative Nancys and Debbie Downers. I have never understood people who rate or review something they've never tried. Especially the snide remarks about ingredients when you didn't even bother to check how many servings it made lol. Fools. Those who said it was bland, must not be very good cooks. I taste what I'm cooking and adjust spices as needed. How hard is that? This was excellent btw. Don't let the haters keep you from trying it!

Followed this recipe as is, but we found it very bland. It was very disappointing after reading all of the great reviews. We will not make it again, sorry!

I made this for the first time and it's the best homemade sauce I've made. I altered the amounts of meat and most of the ingredients.
