She made hers with ground beef and at the end mixed everything in a huge stock pot with spaghetti. It was the last dinner I had with her before we moved. It's the meal that my cousin, Jessi, and I talk about when we reminisce about or favorite sleepover nights when we stayed up late, played Gin and ate coffee ice cream. It is quite literally made with love and I think that's what makes it my absolute favorite of all time dinner.
