Spaghettie-Meat Sauce for 150

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

This makes two large electric roasters full!!! Use this for your church, family reunion or any large gathering. You can easily divide this into servings for 100 or 50 people.
This recipe allows for 3/4 cup sauce per person serving.
Read the package of pasta to figure out how much of that you need to purchase.
Add a tossed salad, some garlic bread sticks and a container of Parmesan and everyone is happy!
