    ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SAUCE

    hamburger or sausage, as much as you want
    2 onions
    1 green pepper (optional)
    1 Can tomato puree (29 oz)
    1 can tomato paste (12 oz)
    chives(optional)
    oregano, sugar, salt, pepper.(if you have other spices you might want to add
    them,
    but these are the ones that are needed.

    brown hamburger, onion, and green pepper. Do not season! Drain off liquid.
    Add to crock pot.
    Pour in the puree and paste. Fill the cans with water and pour into the
    crock pot. Start
    With 1&1 /2 cans of water of each. When really Hot, dip a fork in the tomato
    in crock pot to moisten,
    and then in baking soda (to the top of the Tines) then put the fork back in
    the crockpot and
    the baking soda will foam up taking with it The acid. Keep stirring till the
    foam is gone.
    After it is stirred down completely, then you can Season with salt, pepper,
    chives, oregano, etc.…
    be sure and add VERY SMALL amounts of sugar after You have added the other
    seasonings, keep tasting
    it till it tastes right, as it needs this to blend the flavor (Franzs Mom
    said this and it really is true). Don't add
    too much sugar…Also, you will probably have to add water as it cooks down, at
    least to the consistancy you want it. Franzs Moms says the PUREE is the best
    for making sauce.
