Wonderful! This is definitely going into my family's "favorites" file. I left out the garlic for my garlic-hating husband (I did add in a little garlic powder), only used one pound of ground beef, and only used one 6oz can of tomato paste since that's all I had on hand. Even with those changes, this was a great sauce. It smelled so good that we kept tasting it during the day as it cooked. At supper time, I boiled half a box of macaroni & then stirred it into the crockpot with the sauce for a wonderful "goulash". I'll be making this again, probably soon. Thanks for sharing!

This is my favorite spaghetti sauce recipe! Just put everything in the crockpot and let sauce slow cook all day. Makes enough for two meals. We have spaghetti the first week; freeze half of the sauce and make mostaccioli later. This is very good with a salad and garlic bread! We really like "Rich and Charlie's Salad".

BEST HOMEMADE SAUCE! My family loved this sauce! Super healthy! My kids thought it was a little too spicy. Will omit the red pepper flakes next time. THANK YOU for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

This was fantastic! This was my 2nd attempt to make a delicious italian spagetti sauce. My 1st attempt was a complete disaster. I was reluctant to try a slow cooker recipe, but I am so glad I did. The sauce came out wonderful and it was so easy! I varied slightly on a few things. I sauteed the onions alone in butter first and cooked them until they were a light brown color. Then I added my sausage and browned for ten minutes. I didn't add the garlic until the last few minutes. I did this at the suggestion of my grandmother who said that it's very easy to burn and doesn't need a full ten minutes. I served some to my mother and grandmother, who are italian and are used to an "authentic" sauce. They both loved it. It does have a little bit of a kick, my kids thought it was too spicy. My only suggestion on change would be that if you plan on feeding this sauce to kids, you cut out the crused red pepper flakes. Thanks so much for this recipe. It is defenitely one I will make again and again!
