1 to 1 1/2 pounds Ground Beef
1-8oz package Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
4-6 Sticks of Celery
1 large Onion
4-6 Cloves of Garlic
2-8oz cans Tomato Sauce
1-28oz can Diced Tomatoes
1 -6oz can Tomato Paste
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Dried Oregano
1/2 Tbsp Dried Basil
1/2 Tbsp Dried Parley
1/2 Tbsp Black Pepper
1/2 Tbsp Salt
1 tsp Dried Hot Chili Peppers
4 Bay Leaves
I accidently forgot to put the tomato paste in the picture and put another can of diced tomatoes instead.
Sorry about that, I didn't notice until I was posting this picture to the blog.
Start by frying the ground beef until cooked throughout.
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper to the meat while it is cooking.
While beef is cooking chop the celery and large onion.
Add chopped vegetables to the crockpot.
Mince garlic and add it to the crockpot. I love my garlic press.
Now with garlic, we like lots, so I put in 6 cloves.
It's up to you and your family as to how much garlic you like in your sauce.
Add the can of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and two cans of tomato sauce.
Give it a nice stir to mix it up well.
Add all the parsley, salt, pepper, basil, hot chili peppers, oregano, and sugar to the sauce mixture.
Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain the fat and add it to the sauce.
Add the chopped mushrooms too.
Add the bay leaves and give it a good stir.
Place the lid and let it cook on High for 6-7 hours.
This is a great way to serve a lot of people at once.
Cook up some garlic bread and past to complete your meal.
This makes a lot of sauce. You can also add green peppers or more hot chili peppers if you like.
You can keep the sauce in the fridge for up to 4 days or use the leftovers for lasagna.
