This recipe has been a great success over at AllRecipes! It has received plenty of wonderful comments from readers – let’s take a look at what some of them have said about this slow cooker spaghetti sauce:
This sauce is fantastic. My husband ate every drop and is definitely not normally a spaghetti sauce fan. Some people were critical of the sugar in the recipe, but I don’t know how you could call yourself a foodie and not be familiar with sugar as a part of a tomato based sauce, a very traditional preparation. It’s a chemistry thing- all the acid in the tomatoes take on a smoother and more complex flavor with even just a little sugar. As others suggested I added some carrot in with the sauce, so decreased the sugar by just a smidge. My family loves garlic, so in addition to the first teaspoon of garlic powder I added several minced garlic cloves. Thank you for the recipe, it’s delicious!
I love the fact that you do not have to fuss over this spaghetti sauce throughout the day, it simply cooks all by itself in the slow cooker. What could possibly be better than that? Will you be making this Crock Pot spaghetti sauce any time soon? If so, please leave me a comment and tell me what you thought about it. I always love hearing from you guys.
