My neighbor shared her family recipe that has been passed down for generations. This old fashioned comfort food hits different on a spring evening.

2 hours of cooking in shallow containers, and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until steaming hot (165°F/74°C) before serving. If reheating in the slow cooker, bring the noodles and sauce up to temperature on HIGH and then reduce to WARM, rather than holding them at a low heat for long periods from a cold start.
