Personal Notes:
Due to my dislike of chunks of tomatoes, I personally use tomato sauce. Also, instead of using all ground beef I use 2 lbs ground chuck and 2 lbs Italian sausage (1 mild & 1 hot). I will also add a few slices of pepperoni to the sauce while simmering....Another substitution is ALL GOOD QUALITY mozzarella, no swiss....... This was a great birthday party hit!
