STAMP OF APPROVAL SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Thick and hearty. This sauce sure did get my families stamp of approval. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home magazine. When I made this recipe I cut it in half. I used a little less then 1 pound of broken up sweet italian sausage patties. I used Splenda in place of the sugar, which I will use much less next time as I found this to sweet for even my family. I used all dried herbs as that what I have on hand and which I used 1 handful of dried parsley and the amounts given for the basil & oregano as I didn't cut back on these. When I made this sauce I cooked this in my crock pot on high for 4 hours.

The Best Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Ever. Period. image

When I found my Taste of Home magazine in my mailbox, I was excited to try this slow cooker recipe for "Stamp of Approval Spaghetti Sauce" Orginally submitted by Melissa Taylor of Higley AZ. This sauce is the best stuff I have ever tasted- there is no comparison in taste between store bought and this! Everyone that I made it for, my hubby, son, sister, mom and dad loved it and I (shamefully) ate 2 bowls full of plain sauce before serving! Just try it. Notice- It makes a BIG crock pot full of sauce!

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs ground beef
3/4 lb bulk Italian sausage (I used 1 lb.)
4 medium onions
8 garlic cloves, Minced
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (with liquid)
4 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil (I used Olive Oil )
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon rubbed sage (I used ground )
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon pepper
hot cooked spaghetti

  • Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, oil and seasonings.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until bubbly.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Serve with Spaghetti.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes provide a bright, acidic flavor, while canned tomatoes add depth and sweetness. Aim for a 50/50 ratio of fresh to canned tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of herbs and spices. Garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme are all classic Italian herbs that pair well with spaghetti sauce. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little water or broth. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the spaghetti sauce over your favorite pasta, with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to create a delicious and authentic spaghetti sauce that will please everyone at your table. So next time you're craving a hearty and flavorful Italian meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
