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. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 lb ground pork |
1 medium onion, chopped fine |
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, with juice |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce |
2 bay leaves |
5 garlic cloves, pressed |
4 teaspoons dried oregano |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
4 teaspoons dried basil |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
Directions:
1. Brown meats and onion in a skillet and drain well.
2. Transfer to your crock pot.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
5. Serve over hot spaghetti noodles.
