Recipe type: Dinner
Ingredients
  • 2½ pounds ground beef or ground turkey (I used moose meat from my dad in Alaska!)
  • 1 – 2 onions, diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 – 28 oz cans of heavy tomato puree - You can use tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes depending on what’s available and what thickness you like your sauce
  • 1 – 28 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 16 – 24 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms - We really like mushrooms in our sauce, so we add a lot. You can scale this back a lot, if you want.
  • ⅓ cup dried Oregano
  • ⅛ cup dried Sweet Basil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
  1. Dice onions. Saute in some olive oil in a saute pan on the stove until softened and slightly brown. Toss onions into slow cooker.
  2. Cook up your meat (ground beef or ground turkey) in a pan on the stove. Cook it until it’s completely browned. Drain any excess fat. Toss into slow cooker.
  3. Add the rest of your ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on medium for 6 hours or low for 8-10 hours. You can’t really mess up the cooking times. It’s all going to be cooked when you add it to the slow cooker, so it’s just a matter of flavors blending and it all coming together!
