Spaghetti Sauce

A soy free spaghetti sauce!  And it's so good!  Recipe from here.

Slow cooker spaghetti sauce

1 lb ground beef (I used turkey)

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 bay leaves

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons dried basil

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional-I didn't use)

2 tablespoons butter

Brown ground turkey in skillet over medium high heat until meat is cooked through. Drain excess fat off of beef and discard. Combine cooked ground beef and remaining ingredients (EXCLUDING the butter) together in crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Just before serving, remove bay leaves and stir in the butter.  Serve over pasta. Yield: 6-8 servings

Delicious!  5 stars.  And we used it tonight, almost 5 nights after I made it, and the flavors have marinated so well together, it's almost better now than it was super fresh!
