Ingredients for 10 Can Spaghetti Sauce Oamc

  • 10 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • Italian Sausage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • White Onion
  • Bottled Garlic

How to Make 10 Can Spaghetti Sauce Oamc

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling it with a spatula until no pink remains.
  2. Drain the sausage and rinse with cold water.
  3. Transfer the browned sausage to a 5-quart slow cooker.
  4. Sauté 1 large onion and 4 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet until translucent and golden, but not brown.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt to the onions and garlic. Mix well.
  6. Remove from heat and let the spice mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oils to release from the herbs.
  7. Add 10 (28-ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes and the spice mixture to the sausage in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  8. Cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low and cook for 7-8 hours, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  9. Serve over your favorite pasta.
  10. To freeze: Cool the sauce completely, then pour into quart-sized freezer bags. Remove all the air, lay the bags flat on a cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, the bags can be stacked upright for easy storage.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
