I have made my sauce this way for years. It is very easy and I think really good. The Italian dressing mix is the key--the longer this simmers the better it is, but it can be made quickly too. I have also made it in the crock pot!

1 pot (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more)
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 (2/3 ounce) envelope zesty Italian salad dressing mix
1 (4 ounce) jar mushrooms, sliced
1 (32 ounce) box frozen italian meatballs
1 teaspoon dried basil
pepper
garlic powder
olive oil

Directions

1
In olive oil sauté onion, red pepper and garlic till soft.
2
Add Italian dressing mix; stir.
3
Add cans of tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes.
4
Stir in basil and pepper and garlic powder.
5
Let simmer--the longer the better stirring often.
6
Towards the end, add the meatballs and simmer till they are done.
7
Stir in mushrooms.

Loved the flavours. Pretty much did the recipe as written, other than cooking in my electronic pressure cooker, and it came out wonderfully and in 1/2 the time.

This is a VERY good pasta sauce! Very easy to throw together. I put it all in the crockpot and cooked on low for 8 hours. A great meal to come home to! I added italian sauages for another meal of bombers and was very happy I did. I will make this again!

Yum! Easy to do in the crockpot. And easy to adapt to what I had on hand. Cooked about 4 hrs on high - didnt have meatballs, but added thing eggnoodles for the last hour stiring once or twice - noodles probably only needed 45 min. My husband really liked it! Great with cheese on top.
