Lukes Wicked Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Saute in olive oil, be careful not to cook the garlic too long. I add the onion first, and the garlic for the last couple minutes of cooking.
• Brown the ground beef, I drain and discard most of the fat.
• In large pot add whole tomatoes (I chop each of these into smaller pieces in the pot.) Add the tomato sauce. Add the tomato paste. Add the beef and the onion/garlic mixture.
• Add your red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp depending on how spicy you want it, oregano, basil, sugar, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix well and simmer on low for 60-90 mins, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup of water if it gets too thick while simmering. Remove bay leaf, and serve over pasta, top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef, until no pink remains.
• Drain off fat and place into crockpot.
• In a smaller fry pan, saute together in olive oil, green pepper, onion, and garlic together, until tendercrisp (just to meld the flavors together).
• Add to crockpot.
• Add remaining ingredients, and stir together.
• Put lid on slow cooker and turn on low.
• Let cook for 6 to 8 hours, and serve over warm spaghetti and serve with garlic toast.
