• 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef (pre-brown, drain of fat)
• 1 1/2 Large Yellow Onions (diced)
• 1 Bunch (approx. 12) green onions, well-cleaned and chopped, including the white roots
• 1 28 oz can of Diced Tomatoes
• 24 oz Tomato Sauce
• 18 oz Tomato Paste
• 8 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• 2 Tablespoons Basil
• 2 Tablespoons Oregano
• 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
• 3/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 Cup Beef Broth
• 1/2 Cup Red Wine
• 1/4 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs

Method

Add all ingredients to large crock pot, mix and cook on high for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.

Notes: I just made this on Easter and left it cooking while I went to my parents'. Talk about a really, really nice aroma when I walked into my apartment a few hours later! Makes about 3.5 quarts of sauce, plenty of servings and will freeze well.

Number of servings: 15-20
