SLOW-COOKER MEATY ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE
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:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for slow-cooked beef spaghetti sauce. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before cooking it in the sauce. This will help to develop its flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your sauce. Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Use a good quality canned tomato sauce. You can also make your own tomato sauce from scratch, but using a canned sauce is a great way to save time.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the sauce is flavorful.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the sauce over spaghetti or other pasta. You can also use it as a topping for pizza or lasagna.
