This is a favorite! Very good and very versatile. I got this recipe through a recipe swap; I don't remember who gave it to me though. I like to add fresh garlic and a little brown sugar to the sauce to cut back on acidity. Sprinkling cheese between the layers adds a great touch!

4 cups meatless sauce
