Hi Susie,

Hopefully someone will have the exact recipe you're looking for. In the meantime, maybe you can tweak this recipe. By omitting the chili powder and kidney beans I think you'll have what may be the spaghetti sauce recipe they used. Please share the recipe with us if you find it.

Happy Cooking!
