Gluten Free Pasta Sauce with Meat Recipe

I remember the days when I used to open a jar of delicious Spaghetti Sauce, heat it up and call it good! When I felt really chef like, I would get a seasoning packet and add meat and a little garlic powder. Pretty impressive right? Those days were over once we discovered my son was intolerant to Gluten. Gluten is a protein used as a preservative in all the jars and packets.

I tried many different recipes found on cooking websites but none were quite right. Then I dug out the home recipes I had in the back of the drawer and viola! I kept trying to give the sauce a modern twist but really, nothing beats the classics!
