Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:

2 tsp. olive oil

1 small onion, diced small

2-3 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb. ground beef

28 oz. canned crushed tomatoes, in tomatoe puree

1/4 tsp. table salt

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp. dried basil

Your favorite pasta

Directions:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring fequently until onion is soft, about 6-8 minutes. Add ground beef to skillet. Cook, breaking into small chunks until browned. Stir in salt, red pepper flakes and basil and canned tomaotes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Crock-Pot Version:

Follow all of the above directions until the boil part. Dump all of the sauce into a Crock Pot and cook on low for 8 hours. I like this better because it makes it really smooth and the flavors really come out.

The sauce is a thick sauce so if you want it thinner you could add some tomato sauce and more seasonings.
