Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    Organic Diced Tomotoes (28 oz)
    Organic Pasta Sauce (28 oz)
    Medium Onion, chopped
    1 LB Lean Ground Beef (substitue ground chicken or turkey for even fewer calories and fat!)
    1 Tbsp Parsley
    4 Cloves chopped Garlic
    1 Tbsp Basil
    1 Tsp Oregano

Directions

Brown Ground Beef, Garlic and Onion in a saucepan until fully cooked. Remove and drain thoroughly.

Put all ingredients in a crock pot and stir until well mixed.

There are many options to cook based on your need.

In a crock pot:
- Cook all day on low, or
- Cook for at least 1 hour on high
- Cook virtually anywhere in between based on your needs! The longer and slower it cooks, the tastier.

On the stove, simmer in a stewing pot for at least 30 minutes.

Serve hot over your favorite pasta.

It freezes well, and tastes better the next day!

Makes eight 1 cup servings.

Option for those who love fat....

Add 1 LB of your favorite raw italian sausage to the crock pot, but be sure to cook on low at least 3 hours. For less tender sausages, you can brown them first in a saucepan, pat them dry, and then put them in the pot. Using this method, they do not need to cook too long.
