“Mom made this when we were kids, and it was always my first choice for birthday dinners,” recalls Kristy Hawkes in South Ogden, Utah. “Now I do the prep work in the morning and just let it simmer all day. When I get home, all I have to do is boil the spaghetti, brown some garlic bread and dinner is on!”

This is the BEST slow cooked spaghetti sauce! Warning: Use a 4-qt slow cooker; the 3-qt. is too small. I used a can of drained mushrooms and a little less than 1/2 cup ketchup. Yummy!!! -Lori in WI.
