You can buy the sauce premade in cans. I know it is very easy to make from
scratch. I used to do it when I was a kid. However it is not something
that any of us like all that well. Just once a year or so, one of us will
decide that we want it. And then that one meal is enough for us to know
that we don't want it again for a long time. Heh. I only bought the stuff
in the can because it was 50 cents and I couldn't make it from scratch for
that price! You do have to add your own meat to it. Would be better if you
could buy it all the way pre-made in can like chili and then you could just
heat it through.
