SEMI-HOMEMADE CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• finely dice green, yellow and red bell peppers and onions real small.
• heat oil in large deep pan at medium high heat until hot.
• add the diced vegetables and half the minced garlic, half the salt and half the pepper.
• cook the vegetable mixture stirring constantly (like stir-fry) until slightly softened.
• add the ground chuck to the pan with the vegetable mixture and brown until no longer pink.
• drain and put in the bottom of the slow cooker and turn on low.
• in a small mixing bowl add sauce, shredded Parmesan cheese (shredded works better than grated for this recipe), basil, oregano, the rest of the minced garlic, salt and pepper and mix well.
• pour sauce mixture over the meat mixture in the slow cooker and mix both the meat and sauce mixtures together well.
• cook on low 4-6 hours.
• use over the pasta of your choice but we prefer spaghetti or fettuccine use a heavy pasta.
