How to Make Spaghetti Sauce In The Crock Pot

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 2 stalks celery (chopped). Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to your crock pot.
  4. Add 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup tomato juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 bay leaf, and 1 tablespoon honey to the crock pot. Stir well to combine.
