EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.

Stir about 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley into the sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

This sauce was really tasty. I omitted the meat and mushrooms for a marinara version and used whole, peeled tomatoes instead of the diced ones. After 9 hours, the color and consistency was as good as any homemade Italian recipe I've ever eaten and no stirring or burning on the bottom of the pan! I will use this recipe from now on.
