  1. I was intimidated by the recipe as it seemed a bit lengthy and complicated but I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s such a favorite that I always needs to have some in the freezer.

  2. We loved this and it tasted just like THAT brand !!! A lot of prep but so worth it . I will
    Make additional sauce as it became very dry as it sat.

      1. Erica. I totally missed the 8×8 pan ! I made a 9×13 the first time. That’s why it was dryer side . Made again ( by request ) 8×8 pan and it was perfect !!!! I made 3 more pans to freeze. My family loves this so much. We usually had that brand atleast once a week ! Now it’s the homemade version. Once you make it once , the subsequent times are not as laborious ir intimidating. It whipped up fast once the veggies were chopped Thanks again for this recipe !

  3. This is an odd sort of way to write a recipe. I noticed one commenter said it was too complicated. I agree. To simplify things, I recommend listing ingredients like in published cookbooks. Instead of “onion #1” and “onion #2” which equals 1/2 cup of onion (for example), you just say “1/2 cup onion, divided.” You then write in the recipe itself how much onion you call for each time you use it. When you note an ingredient is divided, people know to look for how much of it to use in the recipe.

    I’m going to be trying this recipe. I’m also going to be copying it to a Word doc and editing it first so I don’t hurt my brain just looking at it.
