I like to serve this dish to company. Not only is it delicious and a snap to prepare, but it's economical, too. I'd be lost without my slow cooker. —Shelley McKinney of New Castle, Indiana

a very flavorful sauce

Very hearty but mine came out bland and watery. I prefer smooth sauces so I put the tomatoes in the blender. That may have made it watery. Even the hamburger that I cooked with the onion was bland.

Love this recipe. The brown sugar is a better flavor than white sugar I used to use. I omit the Thyme b/c we don't care for that flavor. I use different meats to change it up. In the summer I use fresh tomatoes. It has a great flavor. Highly recommend.

I've been making this recipe for 10 years--since I first saw it in Taste of Home. Still our favorite sauce, and so easy to make.

This sauce is very easy to make and tastes great! I doubled the tomato sauce and added bell pepper and mushrooms. I also used Italian sausage and this gave it great flavor. Will certainly make this again!

This was a terrific sauce and my family and I loved it. I added in bell pepper and mushrooms and an extra 8 ounce can of tomato sauce. I omitted the thyme and added majoram instead. I cooked on low for 4 hours. It is so flavorful if you make it with the Italian sausage. Thank you so much for a recipe I'll make again and again!

Will try something else in the future. It's just a spaghetti sauce, nothing special to it.
