My Very Best Spaghetti Sauce
RECIPE BY: HeidiSue
I've been working on this one for awhile and it's finally just how we like it. It's a little spicy and a little sweet. If you like it less spicy just omit the crushed red pepper flakes, you can always add some in later if you want to spice it up a bit. Cook time is maximum amount on low in the crockpot.

Pretty Good, I can't get Italian sausage easily in England so I used good pork and leek sausage (6), added some fennel seed , 2 bay leafs and used 2 green chilis and 1 tsp crushed red peppers in stead of just 2 tsp crushed red peppers. Also used a bit more garlic and threw some fresh basil at the end - Very Nice...

This IS a wonderful recipe! I've tried many spaghetti sauce recipes. This one is not at all complicated, only takes a few minutes of chopping & browning, then all in the crockpot for a few hours ... couldn't be easier. My grocer packs his italian sausages in pound packets, so that's what went into my sauce ... 1 lb. each of both ground beef & italian sausage. I also added a chopped green pepper and a 10-oz. tin of sliced mushrooms when the chopped onion went into the skillet. In addition, I used 5 garlic cloves, rather than 2, but omitted the powdered garlic, as I hadn't any. The quantity of black & red pepper looked a bit scary to me, but I used the total quantity and it was not overpowering due to the addition of the sugar as well as the quantity of the sauce ... made a full "crock". Thanks! I'll definitely make this again in future.

I made this last night while I slept. How easy is that. Changes I made are as follows: Used 5 links of mild Italian Sausage as that is how they are packaged in my market. I used fresh tomatoes for the crushed by heating them and mashing them with my potato masher. I will probably decrease the sugar to 1/3 cup as it is pretty sweet and I only used 1 teas. crushed red pepper flakes. It is yummo
