Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce

1 pound ground beef

1 pound bulk Italian sausage

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tsp. minced garlic

3 cans Italian diced tomatoes

2 cans (15 oz) tomato sauce

2 cans (6oz) tomato paste

1/4 cup sugar

2 Tab. Italian seasoning

1 Tab dried basil

2 tsp. dried marjoram

I tsp. salt

½ tsp pepper

Hot cooked spaghetti or small kid-friendly noodles like rotini

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef and sausage until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a slow cooker. Stir in green pepper, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, paste, sugar, and seasonings; mix well. Cover and cook on low for eight hours or until bubbly. Serve over spaghetti. Yield 12 servings. (I've actually never made it in the crockpot. I just make it on the stove).
