MY CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE



My Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce image

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.

PERFECT SPAGHETTI SAUCE (CROCK-POT)



Perfect Spaghetti Sauce (Crock-Pot) image

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's Spaghetti Sauce Adapted for the Crock-Pot by Dolores ( image

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.
