FAQs:
How should I store the spaghetti sauce? Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Why use stewed tomatoes? Stewed tomatoes are recommended in this recipe because they’re already cooked with seasonings, are softer, and usually sweeter than other canned tomatoes. Other kinds of tomatoes may be used if desired, but doing this will change the flavor.
Can I make this without the meat? This recipe can be made without ground beef if you don’t want a meat sauce. However, the consistency and taste won’t be how it was originally intended.
