Recommended Cookware For This Recipe:

Instructions

Brown ground beef/sausage in a frying pan over medium heat until brown and crumbly.
Using the same pan, add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are transparent.
Place the meat/onion mixture into the slow cooker. Combine the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker until well mixed.
Cook on low, 8-10 hours or on high 4-6 hours.
Serve over vermicelli noodles and top with Parmesan Cheese.

Notes

This makes enough to fill a 6 quart slow cooker.

To make on the stove top, follow steps 1 and 2. Place these ingredients in a stock pot, along with the rest of the ingredients. Simmer on low for 30 minutes.

To freeze: Place left over spaghetti sauce (without the noodles) in a glass/freezer safe container or a freezer safe gallon bag. Label with the date and freeze. It should freeze for a good 2 months.

To Defrost: Place bag or bowl in the fridge overnight. Heat in microwave or on stove top before serving. Or you can place the bowl in the microwave on 'defrost' for a faster option.
