This spaghetti meat sauce recipe makes a lot of sauce and only uses one pot! I usually freeze at least half of it in individual servings that can be re-heated later for really quick meals.

You can also choose to make it with ground turkey or chicken (instead of the traditional ground beef) which decreases the calories and fat content, and still tastes great!Pots:large stockpotThis recipe makes a large batch of sauce (about 16 servings, depending on how big your servings are).
