It's ok debz. How's the weather in Edmond today? I lived in Tulsa (8 years) just back in NJ!
Miserable. 108 today and for the next 4 days. We've got a cool wave coming towards the end of the week. On Friday it's only gonna be 100! This is why I'm sitting inside on the internet. Any more movement than keystrokes, and you break a sweat!
Thanks for the info about the "gravy". You learn something new every day!
My ex mother-in-law made spaghetti sauce this way. She would make her sauce and just add raw hamburger to it. It gave me the runs everytime. Imagine all the fat and grease that ends up in the sauce? I like meat or meatballs in my spaghetti sauce, but I cook it seperate, drain off the grease and then add it to the sauce.

Now that would be a deal breaker. I could not eat that.

I tend to diversify with things like spaghetti sauce. It's a matter of what I feel like eating at the time, and that's because there are a lot of ways to do it. If I feel like incorporating ground meat (and I would do beef and pork sausage), then that's what I'd do. On other occasions, I'd do mushrooms or onions and peppers.
I like to use the prepared sauces as a starting point better than making my own from scratch. I like some ground beef or pork in the sauce but not too much. I use lots of fresh garlic, green and red peppers, onions, jalapino peppers for some heat and lots of parmasan cheese. Because the sauce gets better if it's simmered for a long time I sometimes put it in the slow cooker for a few hours.
I put veggies and mushrooms in my sauce; DH adds cooked ground meat to his
