Slow-Cooker Meaty Italian Spaghetti Sauce image

If you've been searching for "the one," that is a reliably delicious spaghetti sauce that will please the family, freeze well and get better overnight, we humbly suggest this recipe. No hard-to-find ingredients here, just everything you'd expect to be in a basic red sauce. Before stewing to perfection in your slow cooker, this sauce does require a crucial couple minutes of skillet time. Taking the 15 minutes to brown Italian sausage and onions to golden-brown perfection doesn't just bring out the best in these ingredients, it also leads to a sauce that's considerably more delicious than it would be otherwise. And after you do it, it's just a matter of tossing all the ingredients into the pot and letting them simmer together into a rich and savory red gravy!

Time 9h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 cup red wine
1 cup sliced green olives
4 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon Hungarian paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion, divided
1 clove garlic, crushed and chopped
⅔ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅔ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 (4 ounce) links Italian sausage links, casings removed
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup red wine, or more if needed

Steps:

  • Mix together the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, 1 cup of red wine, green olives, 4 teaspoons of sea salt, basil, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker. Set the cooker to Low.
  • While the cooker is warming up, place 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook 3/4 cup of sweet onion until the onion just begins to soften, about 2 minutes; stir in 1 clove of garlic. Cook the mixture for 3 more minutes before mixing in parsley and mushrooms. Reduce heat, and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, and mix to dissolve.
  • While the parsley and mushrooms are simmering, heat 3 more tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the remaining onion and the sausage. Brown the sausage, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes; season the mixture with white pepper and cumin. Pour 1 cup of red into the skillet, and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve any brown flavor bits into the wine. Simmer for about 10 minutes; pour the sausage mixture into the skillet with the parsley and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat just until all the ingredients have had time to introduce themselves to each other, about 10 minutes. Pour the sausage mixture into the slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low for 8 hours to overnight. Add more red wine or water if needed to prevent the sauce from getting too thick and burning on the bottom.
