Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage
- 1 onion chopped, large
- 2 can tomato sauce (15 ounce)
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounce, fire roasted
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 ounce, Italian-style
- 1 can tomato paste (6 ounce)
Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning dried
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon thyme dried leaves
- ¼ teaspoon basil dried
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, Italian sausage and onion and cook until browned. Once done, drain any excess fat or liquid.
- Carefully transfer the meat mixture to the crock pot. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the sugar to the pot and mix to combine.
- Cook on low for 3-8 hours. Before serving, stir in the sugar, then serve over spaghetti or other pasta.
Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
- How to Freeze: Making this easy weeknight spaghetti with meat sauce recipe into a freezer meal is simple! Follow the steps below, and you can store this recipe in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- How to Reheat:
- How to Scale: This recipe can be halved, but if you double it you would need another crockpot.
- Ground Beef – You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken if you want to lighten it up a bit.
- Italian sausage – You can use ground Italian sausage or links and bust out the meat from the casing. For a little extra bite, use spicy sausage.
- Onion – Yellow or white onions will both work.
- Dried herbs – If you want to swap out any of the dry herbs for fresh herbs, multiply the amount of dry by 3. So ¼ teaspoon dried thyme would amount to ¾ teaspoon fresh chopped thyme.
- Garlic powder – You could substitute 2 tablespoons fresh grated or minced garlic instead, but garlic powder is the quickest and easiest option.
- in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
- in the freezer up to a month
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container: gallon ziptop bags, mason jars, or containers with lids. Then, spoon the sauce into the container.
- If freezing in a zip-top bag, place the bag flat on a baking sheet and in the freezer. Once frozen, you can stack them more easily. Be sure to label the sauce with a name and date.
- In the microwave on 30 second increments, stir and continue until heated through.
