Easy sauce that tastes as good as in a restaurant! My family doesn't like "chunks" of tomatoes so I pureed the tomatoes in a blender then added with spices as in the receipe. Came out great! This will from now on be our family's spaghetti sauce receipe!

Good and easy! Nice to have it in the slow cooker. Some water gathered on top of the lid during cooking and fell back into the sacue, making it a tad watery, so I started trying to drain the water that collected up there.

pretty tasty.some reviewers complained it was runny.this is true but it allows the meat to seperate from the sauce a little which I really enjoyed.I will definately make again.1/2 hour prep time makes this easy to get ready in the morning as well.

have made this twice, first in crock pot then stovetop because of last minute decision to make it. it is thick, tomato-ey. it's a keeper. i also increased the amount of italian sausage the second time. i used carrots the second time instead of sugar, which i think i prefer. i think i will try a can of fire roasted tomatoes next time, and some red wine. i like it. lots of room to play with it.

A very flavorful and hearty sauce. It's excellent! Next time I'll try it with veggies as others suggested.

My 2 year old LOVED this. She asked me in the mornings if she could have some!! My hubby didn't like the chunks of tomatoes, although he liked the flavour, so I may have to fiddle with grinding/ cutting up the stewed tomatoes or just changing them to all diced tomatoes, etc. Also, I had to fish some of my tomatoes back out after putting them in when I realized that the cans were about double the size of the 14.5 oz cans you mention!! I assumed they were the right size without checking....good thing I caught that one!! The sauce did end up being a little watery, so I will drain the tomatoes next time to see if it makes a difference. Wonderful flavour!! Thanks :)

I love homemade sauce and this is right up there. I chose to do a split on the italian sausage & ground beef (equal amounts) and also chose to add 1/2 cup cabernet sauvignon to the sauce. VERY good spaghetti sauce!!!

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST Spaghetti sauce i have ever made!!! I did make three small changes. 1) I used sweet italian sausages and cut them out of the casings; 2) I used brown sugar, not white sugar; 3) I used a can of mild Rotel instead of diced tomatoes! It was delicious!!! I am going to double the recipe this weekend so I can freeze it!

This sauce is so very watery it's not like sauce, it's like broth. The flavor is incredibly bland and I had to add nearly double the amount of seasoning to stop my spaghetti with red broth taste like something. I will never use this recipe again, nor wish this recipe on my worst enemy.
