Linda, tried this recipe tonight and so very good! Let it cook all day! I used my own tomato sauce that I canned this summer and put in some tomato sauce! I will do this again because it was so much easier than fixing in skillet. Really liked having it in my crockpot

Hi Wanda! I am so excited to hear from you and am thrilled you loved my meat sauce! What a great idea to use some of your home canned tomato sauce which I'm sure enhanced the flavor. Thank you for letting me know and hope you have the chance to stop by again soon!
Looks wonderful, but all those canned tomatoes are full of Sodium!
Any way of getting around that and still have the great flavor?
Btw, its hard to find low or No sodium in tomato sauce.
Thanks..

Hi Annie...thanks so much for your note. I absolutely understand your concern...you can certainly used fresh tomatoes or try some of the unsalted brands. Woodstock and Muir Glen offer unsalted varieties (organic) as does Hunts and Del Monte. I agree, unsalted tomato sauce is hard to find. I have used Muir Glen in the past. To add more flavor to compensate for the loss of salt, I would increase the spices as desired. I would also consider adding a "pop" of heat (if you like) from crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne. Hope this helps and thanks bunches for stopping by!
