Recipe: spaghetti meat sauce

This time of year is CRAZY and I know I always appreciate getting a new recipe that I know my family will eat up (pun intended....).  My mother in law has, hands down, the most delicious meat sauce for spaghetti-- or any other noodle!-- that I have ever had.  She, thankfully, passed it along to me and I make it often in our house.  I prepare it all and throw it in the crock pot to enjoy.  The best part is, the longer is simmers in there, the better it is!

So, if you are looking for a yummy dinner idea, here is her sauce:

1 small can tomato paste
3 one pound cans of tomato sauce
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 small onion finely chopped
3 tbls olive oil
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp each of: parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary and salt

Combine and put in crock pot! I always brown up 2 pounds of ground beef and throw it in the crock pot too.

Serve this with some garlic bread and it is comfort food at its finest.  This makes a pretty good amount, so it would be perfect if you were taking a meal to a family there would be enough for your family to keep some too.  It is also really great for serving a lot of people.

yum yum, y'all!
