MY CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE



My Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce image

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.

CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce image

I love this recipe, but I must say I have forgotten where I got it from. I make a crock pot full, we eat on it for two days, and then I freeze the rest for another time. I use italian sausage, and omit the red pepper and sugar (prefer a not too sweet sauce). If I am short of time, I always cook the meat the night before, then put it all in the crock pot the next morning. I would think, though, you could cook it all night then all the next day until dinner too. The recipe states 4-6 servings but I think it makes more than that. Enjoy!

SLOW-COOKER MEATY ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Slow-Cooker Meaty Italian Spaghetti Sauce image

If you've been searching for "the one," that is a reliably delicious spaghetti sauce that will please the family, freeze well and get better overnight, we humbly suggest this recipe. No hard-to-find ingredients here, just everything you'd expect to be in a basic red sauce. Before stewing to perfection in your slow cooker, this sauce does require a crucial couple minutes of skillet time. Taking the 15 minutes to brown Italian sausage and onions to golden-brown perfection doesn't just bring out the best in these ingredients, it also leads to a sauce that's considerably more delicious than it would be otherwise. And after you do it, it's just a matter of tossing all the ingredients into the pot and letting them simmer together into a rich and savory red gravy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and good-quality olive oil.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before adding it to the sauce will help to develop its flavor and give the sauce a richer color.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for a longer period of time will help to develop its flavors and thicken it.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: This sauce is delicious served over spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta.
