Pasta sauce doesn’t have to come from a jar! A friend of mine asked me for a basic recipe that would allow her to control the herbs and spices to taste. I found this recipe years ago in a Best of Country Cooking book and have changed it only slightly over time. It’s a winner and the slow-cooking aromas will make you wish it were dinner time! If you’re a sausage lover, you can substitute half the ground beef for bulk Italian sausage. Just brown all the meat together.
Another friend I ran into asked me to suggest a good winter breakfast casserole. I like this one because it has apples in it. NIce little change from the normal casserole fare.
