I made this again using only 1 tablespoon of the spices, replaced thyme with basil, and then added about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and it was much more to our liking.

This basic spaghetti sauce is a great starting place for someone that isn't sure how to make in the slow cooker. I was surprised at how much flavor the extra spices added. I would not have normally used that much. I did add a little bit of sugar as well since I found the sauce a little bitter.

Yuck! I always try to find one positive because some people cannot take criticism well, and I usually find ONE good thing about a recipe. The only GOOD thing about this AWFUL sauce is that my crock pot is finally rid of it. I cannot believe this is a recipe that's been passed on for generations! The spices are so overwhelming and do not blend kindly. This was awful--one spoonfulwas all it took to realize that we weren't having it for dinner that night--or EVER AGAIN!

I will not make this again. The slow cooker/crock pot tends to really bring out the taste of dried herbs--it magnified it so that the herbs were overwhelming. We couldn’t even eat this. Sorry!

We DID NOT like this recipe at all! I decided to make this and upon adding the ingredients I noticed all the tablespoons of spices and decided to put 85% less then what it called for and it still came out horrible. We WILL NEVER use this recipe again.

If I could have put anything lower than 1 star...that would have been more than this recipe deserved. I cannot believe I actually read this recipe and decided to make it because I wanted to do something easy in a slow cooker. This person must have been on some type of hallucination medication...and you know what I am talking about! This was the worst sauce I have ever tasted. Thank goodness I had a jar of Classico sauce in my pantry to save my family for dinner that night. I am warning you....never use this recipe. It is not edible. It's not fit for the bugs that live under my house to eat!! Please...for God's sake....do not make this sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This recipe has SO many spices, but no basil. What is spaghetti sauce without basil. I substituted basil for the thyme which, to me, belongs on fish, not spaghetti. Also, it was so thin, I used some crushed tomatoes instead of all sauce. I also cut the measurements down to teaspoons instead of tablespons, but it was still too spicy. This may be a good place to start, but it has a long way to go.

My first try at making home made sauce and it was easy and great tasting. I added ground beef also. Had enough to freeze for leftovers too!

This sauce was good, and yielded a lot of sauce, but I thought there was a little too much spice in it. If I make it again, I'll reduce the spices to my taste.

This sauce is excellent! I cut down on the tomato sauce and paste to 2 cans to fit in a 5 quart crockpot. I also cut down on the spices to 1 tablespoon and added 1 cup water and 1 tablespoon of honey to cut down on the acidity. I added meatballs from the recipe - Mixture for meatballs, meatloaf or burgers from this site. This combination was delicious! Everyone loved it.

Amount of herbs used is just way too much!! THree tablespoons of each makes the sauce too strong, and there is nothing in the recipe to reduce the acidity of the tomatos. We didnt like it at all, but probably could adjust the amount of the herbs to our own tastes.

Mine is still cooking so I cannot rate the taste. I agree with others that it will not fit a 5 QT crock pot. Suggest rewriting the measurements to fit a standard size crock pot. I have 45 oz of tomato sauce and 6 oz tomato paste yet to add to a full pot. 5/30/01: Way too spicey. A neighbor suggested the Tablespoons should have been teaspoons of spices. I think the servings are 100, not 10 for 5 quarts of sauce.

I tried this recipe and thought it was awesome. I thought the seasonings and ingriendents were exactly what was called for. My 4 year old loves it and I love how easy it freezes to have some ready whenever I need some. Thanks I will use this recipe again.
