Instructions

Cook meat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stir and break meat up to crumble. Drain well.
Place cooked meat in a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Add tomato sauce and remaining chopped vegetables and spices. Cover with lid and cook on high setting 1 hour. Reduce to low heat and cook for 6 to 7 hours.

Notes

You may vary the meat of your choice, like turkey in addition to sausage instead of beef. Makes about 10 cups of sauce. I also use organic as much as possible and also tomatoes without added sugar.
