This is a family favorite recipe from Grandma Karen. This will feed an army! We are constantly asking for the recipe and then lose where we wrote it down! But here it is so we can stop pestering her about it!
3 jars Garden Vegetable Ragu Spaghetti Sauce
2 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 lb. ground beef
5 mild sausage links (the large ones, like brats)
2 packets Spaghetti seasoning packets
3 bay leaves
Italian seasoning
minced garlic
basil
oregano
Combine the spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasoning packets and paste in the crock pot. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, brown the ground beef with some minced garlic, salt and pepper. Once cooked through, add to the crock pot.
Boil the sausages until mostly cooked through. Remove from heat and slice (coin size). Add to the crock pot.
Add remaining seasonings and cook on low all day.
