Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Now is the time of year to be harvesting all those tomatoes before it freezes. This is a wonderful recipe to use some of those tomatoes.

Spaghetti Sauce
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, mined
  • 4 cups fresh tomatoes, cut up (you could also use 1 quart bottled tomatoes, or 2 (1 lb) cans of tomatoes
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 12 oz tomato paste
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 2 TB minced parsley
  • 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 3 bay leaves (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup green pepper (optional)
  • 1 TB brown sugar
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
Brown meat with onion and garlic. Drain off fat. Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. 1 hour before serving you can add any or all (or none!) of the following:
  • 1 can black olives, sliced
  • 1 can drained mushrooms
  • 1 can artichokes, diced
  • 1 can hearts of palm sliced
Serve over spaghetti or angel hair pasta. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan. Enjoy!
