Enhance spaghetti with slow-cooked tomato meat sauce for a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb extra-lean (at least 95%) ground beef
  • 1/2 lb bulk Italian pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 16 oz uncooked spaghetti
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired
Instructions:
  • In a 12-inch skillet, sauté the beef and sausage over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully cooked and the sausage is no longer pink; then drain any excess fat.
  • Combine the beef mixture and all remaining ingredients, except for spaghetti and Parmesan cheese, in a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker.
  • Slow cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours with a lid on.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, prepare the spaghetti according to package instructions. Serve the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and top with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
