How to Make Best In Town Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Remove casings from 1.5 lbs Johnsonville Spicy Hot Italian Sausage (or 1.5 lbs mild Italian sausage, if preferred).
  2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté 1 large onion (chopped) and 4 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons of margarine until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Transfer the browned sausage, sautéed onions, and garlic to your slow cooker.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients (see below) to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
