Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 1/4 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
Cook: 8 hours
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions and Italian sausage until the sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage and onions to a slow cooker. In the same skillet, cook and stir the ground beef, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and marjoram, breaking the meat up as it cooks, until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the ground beef to the slow cooker.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, thyme, basil, oregano and 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. Seth the cook on low and cook the sauce for 8 hours. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sugar. Serve hot.
My changes
- I never put in the sugar.
- I typically just use ground beef. The Italian sausage gives it a little spice that is too much for my kids and they won't eat it.
