Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 small green pepper finely chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 40 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp dry parsley flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Brown hamburger and sausage in a large skillet.
  • Drain off the fat and transfer to a 5 or 6 quart crock pot.
  • Add remaining ingredients and cook on LOW for about 8 hours, or on HIGH for about 4 hours.

Notes

  • This can also be made on the stove. Just add a cup of water and simmer in a large pot for 1-2 hours. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes.
