Dads recipe is adjustable for large crowds see Large batch recipe notes.
Cooks Note: I don't care whose sauce it is it always tastes better the next day.The onion never leaves the kitchen as the cook removes the cloves slices the onion up and eats with Italian bread. sorry.
Dad made this recipe for shack parties, sportsman's banquets, crow feeds and many family gatherings. We would always leave for the hunting camp early and the first order of business was the sugo. A really big batch. He would pass the time playing solitaire, sipping wine or coffee and always checking sugo. He would jar it up warm and we would leave on a delivery route to neighboring shacks to visit. Dad knew everyone and everyone knew dad.
Dad was also known for his kitchen antics and would break out in song and play the spoons. If his brother Julio was around he would chase him from the kitchen as he always tried tasting the sugo. Julio would play accordion and Alex and Rudy provided harmony.
