Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
There has been some confusion as to who developed this recipe. Some family members thought that it was first made by my father, Jim King, ergo Jim's Spaghetti Sauce. In fact, he was the first to introduce it to the family, but it existed long before he got his hands on it. Jim Tweel of Huntington, West Virginia, runs a restaurant there and it's called Jim's Steak and Spaghetti House. It became an institution in Huntington and the spaghetti is the most popular item on the menu. Tweel kept his recipe a secret for years, but it finally leaked out. I don't know how Dad got his hands on it, but I'm glad he did. The recipe is easy to make and is done in one pot. The result is a loose sauce with a rich flavor. It makes a lot of sauce, but that's a good thing. I freeze it in dinner size portions and enjoy it for months. It's great on hot dogs too.
