Jeanne's Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce image

This recipe has many vegetables and three kinds of meat. Most people can't tell it's not all beef and I've been told I ought to market it. This sauce has no acidic after taste, which is frequent with sauces that have tomato and/or bell pepper cooked over long periods of time. This sauce freezes well and can be used for other recipes.

This sauce is a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and oregano and it was much better.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to mine and it turned out great.
