Ellen's Spaghetti Sauce...Not From a Jar!!

One of our favorite meals... Sorry these photos are a bit out of order. This is the sauce simmering all day in my new Crock-Pot. My house smelled so good.
My very willing taste tester. I used rice pasta (gluten-free) and it turned a little mushy. I also made garlic bread out of hamburger buns that were a little dry, they turned out yummy!
The ingredients. I also add mushrooms...and then ground beef near the end.
The recipe card...all tattered and dirty...well used.
The Marinara Sauce recipe comes from my BFF's Mother!! (Hi Kris and Ellen) She wrote the recipe down for me and brought it to my bridal shower nearly 18 years ago, and I have made the sauce often. I do not alter her recipe at all, I make it the same exact way...ALWAYS!! Tomatoes are so good for you, and I learned in one of my Nutrition classes that canned tomatoes are often better and more concentrated.

From all the ingredients on your cabinet, it looks like it would have made 2 crockpots full --- so, where is mine?

I would also like the recipe.

I had the leftovers (yummy!) and I made it over the week-end -- not a lot of work -- most everything comes in a can --- and delicious!!

After 6 days of spaghetti leftovers, can you make something else for blogger? :-)
