I used only half a small onion because the ones I had were pretty hot. We don't eat green pepper, so didn't have any on hand. I added diced tomatoes, and a little water because it was so thick. Also, I was using the microwave for something else, so made it on top of the stove. My finicky husband ate his, but made me promise never to make it again, he thought it was too sweet.

TxVee - do not feed your dog onions or galic in any form or kind. It can damage their red blood cells and cause anemia.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/29\/2010 15:08","GUID":"8f892a9ceb9e41d395bf3cf6f5451dbe","MemberId":4998947,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"DB124","SubmittedDate":"04\/29\/2010 15:08"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"04\/29\/2010 14:55","GUID":"d07f208dcfcb4580ac7e15b559733cbd","MemberId":5049165,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"DKM2","SubmittedDate":"04\/29\/2010 14:55"},{"Comment":"
I don't understand the people (like TxVee) who completely change the recipe and then complain about it not being any good. Maybe you should have followed the recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"04\/29\/2010 14:00","GUID":"7EACF85AB900461CA9D93DCB8FF9F45E","MemberId":762717,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"dverzic","SubmittedDate":"04\/29\/2010 14:02"},{"Comment":"

I like to try something a little different, and this sounded interesting. But I have to say it was the worst meat sauce I've ever tasted. I had a pound of meat that I needed to use, so I doubled everything except the vinegar and sugar, because they were the 'new' ingredients, and it seemed ike too much. I used only half a small onion because the ones I had were pretty hot. We don't eat green pepper, so didn't have any on hand. I added diced tomatoes, and a little water because it was so thick. Also, I was using the microwave for something else, so made it on top of the stove. My finicky husband ate his, but made me promise never to make it again, he thought it was too sweet. I didn't care at all for the vinegary taste and thought it was too salty. My Great Pyrenees approved.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"01\/21\/2010 22:51","GUID":"3C2C23EA2F1A48D2AA0B6C885F7B4083","MemberId":3450142,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"TxVee","SubmittedDate":"01\/21\/2010 22:51"},{"Comment":"
I left out the green pepper because I'm not a fan but it still tasted really good. my boyfriend said he liked it better than my own recipe! i served it with whole grain spaghetti and it was great. the vinegar was a nice touch.<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"12\/06\/2009 22:21","GUID":"204f504a41254bfcbdd61e98705106d4","MemberId":3099441,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"PucciBaby","SubmittedDate":"12\/06\/2009 22:21"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"08\/13\/2009 13:35","GUID":"8571da2ab8ab4f16bafe410b6d35896c","MemberId":3349675,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jotate10","SubmittedDate":"08\/13\/2009 13:35"},{"Comment":"
I love this recipe. It's so easy and it's so nice to know what actually is in it as opposed to premade sauces.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"","GUID":"b09963a778494399bb2ebbb768fc4c07","MemberId":1023038,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kristenr","SubmittedDate":"05\/15\/2009 12:26"},{"Comment":"
This is great, I substituted Splenda for the sugar and crushed tomatoes for the tomato sauce and we love it. I use it over spaghetti squash instead of the pasta because I am diabetic and it is really great.

This is really good, so much better than plain spagetti sauce. I used a can of crushed tomatoes, because I didn't have tomato sauce. It worked well, but I had to add a little water. I will definately be making this again.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"06\/10\/2008 19:14","GUID":"8eaceca17324466aa5a6bfd32c647d82","MemberId":1506371,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kelli F.","SubmittedDate":"10\/26\/2008 18:55"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"01\/18\/2007 22:11","GUID":"d815c3bdd6a84eb790ebccdf9d136b07","MemberId":1614554,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tammyk48197","SubmittedDate":"01\/18\/2007 22:11"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"08\/08\/2006 11:01","GUID":"615ddfa363f6451e9cbb144b4f95538d","MemberId":1083418,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"reztie","SubmittedDate":"08\/08\/2006 11:01"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"06\/20\/2006 08:25","GUID":"717473d5db744d01aa5d997d4db7f59f","MemberId":1074626,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Kristin","SubmittedDate":"06\/20\/2006 08:25"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"04\/05\/2006 16:08","GUID":"2edbda85c55848cb94e3cacd6f96bbe6","MemberId":1268249,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Gail","SubmittedDate":"04\/05\/2006 16:08"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
