Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
- 2 tablespoons of onion flakes
- 1 tsp of garlic seasoning (like powder or seasoning if you only have garlic salt then you will need to decrease or omit the kosher salt)
- 1 tsp of kosher salt
- 1 tsp of freshly grounded black pepper
- 1 large can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 large can of regular spaghetti sauce (I use ragu….costco baby)
- 1/4 cup of ketchup ( I use this to add some sweetness as well as the vinegar in the ketchup add a nice acidity and brightness to the sauce)
- 1 tbsp of dried oregano
- 1 tbsp of dried parsley flakes
- 1 tbsp of dried basil
- 3-4 bay leaves (if you have any not crucial but nice touch to the sauce)
- 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
Pre heat your crock pot to high and add the ground beef, onion flakes, garlic seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper. Add a bit of water to the crock pot: small splash like 1/4 cup. After a 1/2 hour your meat should be nearly cooked. This may very from crock pot to crock pot. Once the meat is brown use a fork and break up the ground beef till crumbly.
Now add the rest of the ingredients, stir well, and turn your crock pot down to low. Allow to simmer for 5-6 hours.
Serve over pasta and enjoy 🙂
