This recipe, along with my beef barley soup and a chocolate pudding cake , is the reason I adore my slow cooker. Yes, it is a huge, old-fashioned, clunky appliance that only does one thing. But MAN! it does that one thing really well, and I promise you that if you will just drag yours out of the attic or basement or garage or wherever you have it and make this sauce, you will be a believer! Trust me on this one, will you? I won’t let you down.
Now with most things that have to do with my slow cooking, this recipe makes way too much to eat in one sitting, unless you are feeding an entire Boy Scout troop.
But that is why they invented those disposable Gladware containers – just scoop the leftovers into those babies, pop them in the freezer, and so long as you have spaghetti in the house somewhere you will be all set for future dinners when you are faced with a ravenous family and your mind is a blank.
In the meantime, this is a fantastic, rich, meaty sauce that cooks away all day long in the slow cooker and makes your kitchen smell like an Italian paradise. There is just the tiniest bit of prep involved (browning the meat), and then the whole shebang gets dropped in the reliable old slow cooker, and your work is done for the day. Some pasta, a little fresh grated Parmesan cheese, and you are in dinner heaven.
Go find that slow cooker now. I know you have one somewhere.

Wow! How simple is that! Great way to feed a crowd..and/or a hungry family.
Woah. Your spaghetti sauce looks fantastic. I just made spaghetti and meatballs the other day (and blogged about it), but next time I have a hankering for this, I will throw everything in my slow cooker. YUMMY!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I can't wait to try it and I too love my slow cooker but don't make too much in it because of the limited recipes I have that I like. This one looks really really good and I am so looking forward to making it and making the house smell good while it cooks.
Hi,
Thank you!!
I tried your bolognese sauce recipe and can report that it is INDEED delicious!!! My entire family enjoyed it and my daughter who does not eat 'red sauce' loved it.

I made this for our Christmas dinner (turkey feast was Christmas Eve). Anyway, the family LOVED it! One comment was who needs pasta when the sauce is so delish?? Thanks for sharing- this one is a keeper, for sure!

I just made this today… it's awesome! I was a little worried about the 'slow cooker' thing seeing as i'm often not happy with anything in the slow cooker. Make it, you won't regret it.
I just made this. It is awesome! So easy, I'll be making this all winter!
Making a batch of this now to for my son to take back to college.
Im making this right now! I promise to do a link back from my site http://theremedycook.blogspot.com come on by sometime!
I couldn't believe this could be made in my slow cooker, but it definitely was!! AND – it was perfect, the flavor was awesome from simmering so long. Definitely one I will be making again!
This looks great! I just got into really using my crock pot and have been hunting for recipes to use. I think I will have to try this one soon.
Can you please share
the recipe for your Chocolate Pudding Cake?
I promise as soon as I can get a decent picture of it I will…it's been a tough one to photograph but I'm working on it!
