From Scratch: Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

I use my slow cooker year round but especially love it in the summer when I can prepare easy meals and keep my house cool as well!  One recipe that’s loved year-round here is my slow cooker spaghetti sauce.  I just made a double-batch this week and brought it (along with a garlic loaf) over to a friend’s house who had just been blessed with twin baby boys!  It was a hit there too – and that’s one of the best things about it, if you make a huge batch there’s plenty to share and freeze for later too.

The recipe below is for a single batch – what you see above is a double batch in a 5qt slow cooker.  I need a bigger slow cooker for my big cooking days!
