Sheila’s Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground beef

1 large onion minced

2 T minced garlic

salt and pepper

1 large can tomato sauce (29 oz)

2 medium cans tomato paste (14 oz)

6 cans water (I use the tomato paste can)

1 large can crushed tomatoes (29 oz)

1 pound mild Italian sausage (optional – Alana uses)

2 T basil

2 T parsley

2 T oregano

Directions:

Brown ground beef on top of the stove with the onion till done.

I also rinse it to remove grease. If you are using the sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces and brown on top of the stove till done.

Add meat and the rest of the ingredients to a large crock pot.

Add 3 cans of water for each of the cans of paste. Stir mixture occasionally while cooking. Cook on low in the crock pot all day… 6 or more hours. If you like your sauce thinner add more water… You can simmer on top of the stove all day as well. Serve with your favorite pasta.
