BEST EVER SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This is my favorite spaghetti sauce recipe. It comes from a freezer cookbook called Once a Month Cooking. This makes alot so plan on freezing about half of the recipe. You can use this sauce on spaghetti, manicotti, veal (or chicken) scallopini, or French bread pizza

THE BEST HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE EVER. PERIOD.
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!

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven. cook the beef, sausage, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until bubbly.
- Discard bay leaves.

Tips:
- Use the right tomatoes: Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce. If you can, use San Marzano tomatoes, which are a plum tomato variety known for their sweetness and low acidity.
- Cook the sauce low and slow: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add a splash of red wine: A little red wine adds depth of flavor to the sauce. Use a dry red wine, such as a Chianti or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of fresh basil, oregano, or parsley adds a pop of color and flavor to the sauce.
