Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground round
  • 30 ounces tomato sauce
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes undrained (2 14 ounce cans)
  • 12 ounce tomato paste 2 6 ounce cans
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 beef flavored bouillon cube

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook meat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stir and break meat up to crumble. Drain well.
  2. 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.
