THE BEST SPAGHETTI (WITH MEAT) SAUCE IN THE WORLD
I'm thrilled to share my signature spaghetti sauce recipe with you! This recipe calls for a slow cooker, which is indispensable for achieving the excellent texture, flavor, and complexity. I've tweaked and perfected the recipe over decades~it's off the charts delicious and so easy to make! A batch of this hearty, savory sauce is always in my freezer. I can pull it out and reheat it for unexpected company or take it to someone who needs a meal. It tastes "just made" even after being in the freezer for a few months.

Steps:
- Heat a small amount of extra virgin olive oil in skillet.
- Begin browning meat on medium heat; crumble meat into small pieces so there are no chunks.
- Add onions and bell pepper as meat begins to brown.
- Pour off liquid when it gets heavy so that meat will brown rather than braise.
- Add garlic; continue cooking until meat is fully browned. Pour off remaining fat.
- Sprinkle meat with Worcestershire and salt & pepper to taste.
- Mix in tomato sauce, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes.
- Add seasonings--chili powder, brown sugar, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf--and parmesan cheese.
- Cook in slow cooker on low, for 6-7 hours. (I've tried this recipe on the stovetop, and it never turns out the same. Low and slow are the way to go with this yummy sauce!)
- I most often serve this spaghetti sauce with pasta (and spaghetti squash pasta for low-carb friends), Johnny's Great Caesar Garlic Bread and Easy Peasy Baby Bleu Salad for the Best.Meal.Ever!
- To freeze: Make the recipe as written but omit the jarred spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to cool for 30 minutes before transferring to a freezer gallon ziploc bag. Remove as much air from bag as possible, label and date the item, and place in the freezer. To prepare from frozen: Thaw sauce or defrost, placing into a slow cooker. Add the jar of spaghetti sauce and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Cook on low, 6-7 hours.
