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!

Time 8h30m

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

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven. cook the beef, sausage, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
  • Transfer to a 5-qt slow cooker.
  • 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:

  • 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.

Conclusion:

With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious spaghetti sauce that will rival anything you'll find in a restaurant. So next time you're craving Italian food, skip the takeout and make your own spaghetti sauce at home. You won't be disappointed!
