Here is how you make Low Sodium Spaghetti Sauce, from Scratch, ala Rita, Slow Cooker Style:

Brown meat. I like mine very fine, so I put them through the food processor after browning. Put meat in slow cooker. In pan with reserved drippings heat onion, bell pepper and garlic until just looses firmness. Add to slow cooker. Add tomato paste, stir. Cook on low 4 - 6 hours. Stir, add burgundy wine. Cook on low additional 1-2 hours. Makes about 3 quarts. Serving size about 2 cups.Serve over hot noodles or rice.*Can also be cooked for an hour in pan or in oven on 350* for about 2 hours. The longer it cookes, the more flavorful it will be. IF YOU COOK IN THE OVEN, stir and check heat. Spray whatever you cook this in with non-stick - including the lid ;)I cooked it on low for 18 hours this last time and Mmm! SO GOOD!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MRSHONEYC.
