+100000000000000000 Loose crumbled hamburger is what comes in some of the prepackaged meat sauce. Round here is was always made with meatballs (which are basically chopped meat flavoured with cheese, spices, etc. Pieces of lamb and chicken are also ok. And what I also like thrown in is some nice braciole.Originally Posted by kc7jty

And is an abomination in the eyes of the LORD. People who put hamburger in pasta sauce are doomed to an afterlife where the menu consists of nothing but Kraft plastic cheese on white bread.
My grandmother made meatballs that would knock your socks off. And braccioli is da kine, although most non-Italians don't even know what it is.Round here is was always made with meatballs (which are basically chopped meat flavoured with cheese, spices, etc. Pieces of lamb and chicken are also ok.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
The Italians I worked with in South Philly called it Beef Bra-ziole.
Another was a Bon-ZET. I think it was a stuffed pork roast.

Yeah, it's made with what my Mom calls "Braciole (or braz-iole) Steaks"... basically a tender slice of beef cut thin and pounded down with a meat hammer to tenderize it and make it thin so that it can be rolled and tied to make the braciole. My Mom puts cheese, assorted spices, and even a few raisins inside ties them closed and then they cook along with the sauce for several hours. Most Italian butchers and deli's round here sell them either ready made or just the sliced beef for making them yourself. Thus far I prefer the home made ones.

Once you try one you'll be hooked.

I was raised Catholic in suburban Philadelphia, and was very fortunate to be fully exposed to really good, all home made, Italian cookery. Mom (or often grandma) would spend the entire day making the evening meal.
My brother is married to a Sicilian woman. When they invite anyone over you know she will be busy at least most of the day making all sorts of homemade goodies.
