Spaghetti Meat Sauce
From Connie D.
1 lb lean ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 2 (1 lb) cans tomatoes, chopped 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce 1 (12 oz) can tomato paste 1 cup beef broth 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Cooked spaghetti, noodles, or other pasta Break up piece of meat with a fork. Combine meat in a slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve over hot spaghetti, noodles, or other pasta. Comments: (not mine) When we first made this, we accidentally left out the can of tomato sauce. The end result was the best spaghetti sauce I have ever eaten. We actually ate some straight out of the bowl! We've tried it with the tomato sauce, and we definitely like it better *without* it. But I've copied the recipe directly so you can do it either way. (We also only used a large can of tomatoes, which was about 6 oz less than the recipe called for.)
