I use my favorite pasta sauce as a base and dress it up with a few different spices and just let it simmer in the crockpot on low. And sometimes I’ll add meatballs if I have those in the freezer.

The one ingredient I always add to a jar of pasta sauce is carrots. Grind them up in a mini-processor or you can chop very fine. Toss them in the pan with a little olive oil and
a few slices of sweet peppers. After a minute or so add onions and garlic, let cook til
transparent and add the sauce. The carrots make the sauce naturally sweet!

My sweet MIL taught me this trick years ago…add about 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar and 1/3 brown sugar to the empty jar, shake it around to mix (and get the remaining sauce out too) pour into the simmering sauce (I add ground turkey to our sauce too). Let simmer a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together…My boys asked for this often in their years still at home, they still do many years later.

Try a bit of rosemary powder. It brings up the flavors nicely.

A pound of ground beef and a few pinches of sugar and I’m in heaven! I eat sauce with garlic bread (no pasta for me). I always make enough to freeze some for later.
