Easy Slow-Cooked Spaghetti Sauce
"After searching for a tomato sauce that didn't taste like it was only for spaghetti, I set out to make my own," writes David Shields from Barberton, Ohio. "The result was this thick versatile sauce featuring ground beef and lots of herbs. It's great on pizza, too."

Our family loved this! Because I know my grandson likes pork sausage, I used that instead of beef or turkey. I made sure to leave it in the slow cooker only 6 hours on low, as some reviewers said it turned out too thick.
Way too thick. Not awful, but not a hit in my house.

Not enough liquid to support that much tomato paste- the sauce set up like paste. The flavors were fine, but I did have to thin the sauce with with quite a bit more broth.
I have been using this receipe since it appeared in Taste of Home in 2003. I'm always asked for the receipe as everyone loves it.

I have used this recipe many times when we have company!!! A BIG HIT!!! Any leftover sauce also freezes well! I add a pound of ground mild italian sausage as well...LOVE IT! Inese
Oh, yeah this is awesome! a nicely balanced sauce thick and tasty!
Yes, it can. I freeze it all the time and it defrosts well. I also use it as the sauce in my lasagna recipe, which really speeds things up.
Can this be frozen ? Laurie J. of Orangeville, UT
