I've been trying to utilize my slow cooker more, especially on the weekend when I can do those recipes that require less time than we are away on a work day. Today I tried spaghetti sauce. I took inspiration from one of the Fix It and Forget It cookbook recipes, but none of them were exactly what I wanted, so I adapted it.
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion
3 slices crumbled bacon (I used what was leftover from breakfast this morning)
3-4 cloves garlic
2 cans tomato soup (inspired from the cookbook)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 bell pepper (I used orange in this because it hides better in the red sauce)
Italian seasoning
Salt, pepper, Tony's to taste
Drizzle of heavy cream or half & half if you enjoy a pink sauce
Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic. Then throw everything into slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Add desired amount of cream and stir when ready to serve.
The cookbook recipe called for canned mushrooms. Boyd and I will just add those to ours.
Really turned out well.
