Homemade spaghetti sauce is one of those “basics” every cook should have in their collection. Gosh knows, recipes abound depending on tastes, ethnic background as well as amount of time available for cooking. Well here is mine. Simple, flavorful and best of all, there is no slaving over the stove for hours as the simmering process takes place right in your crockpot!
Make Ahead and Storage Tips: if desired, this dish may be prepared in the crockpot (and not cooked) up to 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Cook as directed; allowing additional time as mixture will be cold. (probably up to an hour longer) Leftovers may be reheated in the crockpot on Low, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until hot. For faster reheating, transfer to a large pot; cook over medium-low heat (covered) for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sauce may be frozen for up to 4 months.
