MY CROCK POT SPAGHETTI SAUCE
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.

ROSALIE'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE ADAPTED FOR THE CROCK-POT BY DOLORES (
Rosalie is my mother-in-law, Dolores my one of my (5) sisters-in-law. Mom makes a wonderful spaghetti sauce in her pressure cooker. Since few of the daughters (bio and in-laws) have a pressure cooker, Dolores adapted this for us. Hubby loves his mom's spaghetti sauce and was thrilled when I finally made it. To make it taste like mom's, I cooked it on low for 8 hours, then uncovered it and cooked it on high for 1 hour. I used my older crockpot so using one of the newer crockpots may mean just taking off the lid for the last hour.

PERFECT SPAGHETTI SAUCE (CROCK-POT)
As a kid, I was pretty picky about spaghetti sauce, and then mom got this one from a friend...SO good! Now that I have kids of my own, they love it and I've been able to improvise on the recipe myself to make it both kid- and adult-friendly! An easy meal that you don't have to think about and will make your house smell delicious! Plenty for freezing,as well, for another day. Hope you enjoy! *Sometimes, I'll replace some of the tomato sauce with crushed tomatoes and add a little more spice and garlic to compensate* **I use hot Italian sausage mixed with ground beef for a little more of a kick**

Steps:
- 1. Put all ingredients in the Crock Pot and mix. Cook on low or med all day. If your afraid it will be to greasy you could fry the hamburger and Italian sausage.
- 2. You could put olives, mushrooms, and pizza peppers in to add a little more to the sauce. Towards the end of cooking you could taste to see it the seasoning's need to be adjusted.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. If possible, use tomatoes that are in season and ripe.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the sauce. Be sure to brown the meat in a separate pan before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your sauce, the more nutritious it will be. Try using a combination of onions, carrots, celery, peppers, and mushrooms.
- Season the sauce: Be sure to season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bit of red wine or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
- Let the sauce simmer: The longer the sauce simmers, the better the flavors will develop. Try to let the sauce simmer for at least 4 hours, or even longer if you have time.
