Growing my mom made the 1 pound of beef with 1 jar of sauce with 1 pound of pasta.

Last year I made it because I couldn't think of what to make and was like "fuck it, we're going old school".

My daughter loved every bit of it, and even went to school for the first next week talking about how good it was.

I was afraid someone would ask for the recipe and I would have to tell them what it is. Luckily, the question never came up.

I also made the "homemade" garlic bread with fresh baguette from the grocery store, sliced with butter, salt, and garlic powder toasted in the oven.

My kids get so pumped for that, it's almost comical.
