This sauce tastes best when slow cooked on low. I don't know the exact measurements for spices -- it's a use your own taste type. I mix up the ingredients the night before, and then before I go to work in the morning I set the slow cooker on low. When I get home it's ready.

My slow cooker is large and I used 2 lbs of ground beef and added 1 large can of diced tomatoes just cutting back on the tomato sauce. I also do not have a low setting for 4 hours but cooked it on high for 4 hours and it was fabulous. What a fantastic way to top of spaghetti. Read More

I made this twice and each time I tasted a "burnt" flavor. Not too sure any tomato sauce is meant for the slow cooker. Read More

I used Italian herb tomato sauce instead of the plain puree. I also added about twice the amount of sugar required. While browning the meat I added the Italian seasoning to it as well as some fresh ground pepper salt and a little bit of cayenne. I added about 1/2 teapsoon of chili powder to the sauce as well. It turned out really well and it's great to freeze the leftovers for a quick meal another day. Read More

Great recipe! Easy and fast. Everyone loved it at our dinner table. About the only thing I will do differently is to let the onions saute a little longer. Try this recipe. I think you'll really enjoy it! Thanks Jenn! Read More

Hmmm not sure about this one. I had read that I should add dry herbs at the end of slow cooking so I waited til the end of cooking and the sauce was good but on the bland side. I made a triple batch and have since used the sauce as a base for chili and baked spaghetti where I can add flavourings as needed. Read More

This recipe is absolutely fantastic. We're a small family so I halved it doubled the garlic and the seasoning added a couple of small hot sausages and threw a bay leaf into the slow-cooker for good measure; we had delicious leftovers for days Read More
