"When I found my Taste of Home magazine in my mailbox, I was excited to try this slow cooker recipe for "Stamp of Approval Spaghetti Sauce" Orginally submitted by Melissa Taylor of Higley AZ. This sauce is the best stuff I have ever tasted- there is no comparison in taste between store bought and this! Everyone that I made it for, my hubby, son, sister, mom and dad loved it and I (shamefully) ate 2 bowls full of plain sauce before serving! Just try it. Notice- It makes a BIG crock pot full of sauce!"

This recipe is a lot like my spaghetti sauce I do, but I add in also Italian Seasoning, celery leafy part too, mushrooms, spicy sausage, little Season All Salt, and a can or 2 tomato sauce. Making this tonight. ;)
