I made this sauce in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was so easy and the sauce was delicious.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bag of frozen vegetables in my freezer, and this sauce is a great way to use them up.
