Large can of diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can of tomato paste
1-2lbs ground beef (lean or extra lean)
Salt & Pepper
3 cloves of garlic finely minced
1 large green and red pepper,chopped ( I sometimes add yellow or orange if I have them on hand)
2 cans of mushrooms draiined (or an 8oz container of fresh mushrooms)
1 large onion chopped
2 tbsp chili powder (I use a good one from Mexico, it has lots of heat!) adjust according to how spicy you like your sauce.. I like mine with some kick
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
Bay leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
few shakes of worchestershire sauce
Fry ground beef until brown in olive oil. Toss in onion, peppers, garlic and mushrooms. Heat through until veggies are tender, about 5 minutes. Toss in slow cooker. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Add tsp oregano, tsp Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, chili powder, dry mustard, brown sugar and 2 large bay leaves. Stir all together. Turn slow cooker on low, and simmer about 5 hours.
** I sometimes mince up 1/2 carrot, and 1/2 stalk of celery to throw in, just to add a bit more vegetables. **
** Please make sure to remove the bay leaves before serving.. You don't want someone biting down on one of those!** :o)
Enjoy!
