MY CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is a spaghetti sauce recipe that I've developed over time. You may alter the ground meat as you please; sometimes I use all ground beef when I find a good sale but half beef/half pork is pretty tasty. My crock pot is my best friend at times when I'm having busy days at work but still want a decent meal on the table for my family. I serve spaghetti with crusty bread and a romaine salad. Cook time is the crock pot cooking time. This recipe is for a 4 quart crock pot, halve it if your pot is smaller.

TEX-MEX SPAGHETTI (CROCK POT SERVED)
When I lived in Dallas, we often had potluck Tex-Mex dinners, altho not real potluck in the true sense as the menu was almost always the same. There was an appy (queso or 7-layer dip w/tortillas), guacamole was a must & dessert was a flan or sopaipilla. I always made the main course - Mexican Spaghetti w/a "med heat level", which was begun at the stove that afternoon & assembled in my crock pot to stay warm & serve easily that evening. The "heat level" is controlled by the picante sauce you use, but can be raised or lowered by adding spices to suit your taste preferences or using mild picante sauce. This is easily halved for a family meal. Enjoy!

- Add drained tomatoes & set aside the liquid for possible later use. (Note: If using whole tomatoes, halve or quarter them w/a kitchen knife to release & drain their liquid).
- Add sliced black olives. Fold in shredded Monterrey Jack & cheddar cheese & stir gently to mix well.
- The spaghetti is ready to be served when the cheese has melted, but can be kept warm on Low in the crock pot for up to 3 hours If you do that, stir the spaghetti gently once ea hr & ck for a continued & acceptable level of moisture. If it appears to need moisture, use the reserved liquid from the tomatoes as needed.
- When time to serve dinner, set out the crock pot for your family or guests to help themselves & put a dish of sour cream close by (garnish w/fresh chives).
- NOTE: Want a great quesadilla?! Use the same ingredients in appropriate quantity (minus the pasta) & strain the liquid off the picante sauce. Too yummy!

PERFECT SPAGHETTI SAUCE (CROCK-POT)
As a kid, I was pretty picky about spaghetti sauce, and then mom got this one from a friend...SO good! Now that I have kids of my own, they love it and I've been able to improvise on the recipe myself to make it both kid- and adult-friendly! An easy meal that you don't have to think about and will make your house smell delicious! Plenty for freezing,as well, for another day. Hope you enjoy! *Sometimes, I'll replace some of the tomato sauce with crushed tomatoes and add a little more spice and garlic to compensate* **I use hot Italian sausage mixed with ground beef for a little more of a kick**

ROSALIE'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE ADAPTED FOR THE CROCK-POT BY DOLORES (
Rosalie is my mother-in-law, Dolores my one of my (5) sisters-in-law. Mom makes a wonderful spaghetti sauce in her pressure cooker. Since few of the daughters (bio and in-laws) have a pressure cooker, Dolores adapted this for us. Hubby loves his mom's spaghetti sauce and was thrilled when I finally made it. To make it taste like mom's, I cooked it on low for 8 hours, then uncovered it and cooked it on high for 1 hour. I used my older crockpot so using one of the newer crockpots may mean just taking off the lid for the last hour.

Steps:
- 1. Put all ingredients in the Crock Pot and mix. Cook on low or med all day. If your afraid it will be to greasy you could fry the hamburger and Italian sausage.
- 2. You could put olives, mushrooms, and pizza peppers in to add a little more to the sauce. Towards the end of cooking you could taste to see it the seasoning's need to be adjusted.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Using fresh vegetables, flavorful sauce, and high-quality pasta will elevate the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot: Ensure there is enough space for the ingredients to cook evenly and avoid a mushy texture.
- Adjust cooking time based on your crock pot: Different models may have variations in cooking times, so adjust accordingly.
- Use a slow cooker liner: This makes cleanup easier and prevents food from sticking to the pot.
- Add some spice: If you like a little heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeƱos to the sauce.
- Don't overmix the pasta: Stirring the pasta too much can make it mushy, so mix it gently.
