Servings:

Add ground beef and Italian sausage to a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook, breaking up into small chunks, until browned and cooked through. Remove the meat from the skillet using a slotted spoon, and transfer to a crock pot.
Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and sugar to the crock pot and stir to combine.
Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours. Serve with cooked spaghetti noodles. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Recipe Tips.

Brown the ground beef and sausage before adding them to the crockpot for the best flavor and texture.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat so extra grease stays behind in the skillet.
Stir the tomato paste well into the sauce so it blends evenly.
Cook the noodles separately right before serving so they do not get mushy.
Make-ahead tip: make the sauce a day ahead and refrigerate it, then reheat and serve over freshly cooked spaghetti.

Store. Keep cooled crockpot spaghetti sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-6 months.

Reheat large portions of leftovers in a crock pot or saucepan, or smaller portions in the microwave.
