Ree's Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

 This is the Pioneer Woman's recipe. I halved it and slightly adjusted it, but it's basically the same. Be prepared for your kitchen to smell heavenly! It's easy and super delicious. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-2 lbs lean ground beef

-1 onion, finely chopped

-2 garlic cloves, minced

-28 oz crushed tomatoes

-24 oz marinara sauce

-2 Tbs tomato paste

-1 Tbs sugar

-2 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp pepper

-1 tsp dried parsley flakes

-1 tsp dried basil

-1/2 tsp dried oregano

-1/2 tsp dried thyme

-1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

-1/2 cup red cooking wine

-2 bay leaves

Directions:

In a large skillet, brown the beef, along with the onion and garlic. Once the beef is cooked, drain the excess grease and pour mixture into your slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Stir until well mixed.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or 4 hours on HIGH. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Serve on top of cooked spaghetti and top with some Parmesan cheese. Add a slice of garlic bread on the side and you have a perfect meal. Enjoy!
