Taken from my Mom's recipe and I when I make it, I make a lot of it. We usually enjoy for dinner and then I freeze the left overs OR I use it for my meal prep for the week if I make it on the weekend. I made it this week because I missed doing meal prep this past weekend and it was super easy!
So let's get going!!!!!!
1 Crockpot
Set on LOW for 8-10 hours
2 small onions diced
1 bell pepper-any color-diced
3 medium carrots- peeled and chunked or finely diced
2 cloves of garlic- diced
1 Tbsp. Sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 heaping Tbsp. of Italian seasoning
1 Tbsp. of chili powder
1 pound of ground meat (your choice-turkey, beef or chicken) browned and drained
2 Large cans of diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can of tomato paste.
Combine all ingredients in a large crockpot and put on to cook while you are at work or cook over night. Taste and adjust seasoning as it cooks or when completed cooking.
**carrots are for the sweetness and if you wish to leave out the sugar you can.**
**Add in's- Meatballs! If you want to make your own, my recipe is here. You can also use the ones in the meat department or the frozen section if you choose. I cook them at the same time with the sauce.
Serve of your favorite pasta, use in lasagna, or use with a Meatball Sandwich or with tortellini. I hope you enjoy!!!!!
