Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 12
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
- 1 (29-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon sugar
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.
- Substitute the canned tomatoes with 13 fresh tomatoes (about 9 pounds). Remove the skin, dice half, and chop the other half in a blender to resemble stewed tomatoes.
- We use spaghetti noodles with the slow cooker spaghetti sauce, but any type of pasta can be used.
- This recipe is a great way to add hidden veggies like shredded carrots, mushrooms, or sautéed spinach.
- This makes quite a bit of sauce. We like to store half the sauce in the freezer to use another day.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-6 months.
Reheat large portions in a crock pot or saucepan and smaller portions in the microwave.
