Quick and Easy Marinara Sauce

So I know I have shared my passion for cooking and cook books.  I love complex meals but I love quick and easy ones too.

When I was a kid I learned a very basic sauce my Aunt Jo use to make.  Yesterday I decided to build on it and put it in a crock pot to simmer and cook for 5 hours.  Yes anyone can make it and use it for sausage sandwiches, spaghetti, and whatever else you can think of.

4 12ozCans of Tomato Sauce

1  8oz can of Tomato Paste

2 Tsps of Paprika

4 Tsps of Italian Seasoning (at least LOL)

2 cloves of chopped garlic

1 chopped bell pepper

1 cup of chopped baby bella mushrooms.

Use the seasonings as much or as little as you desire.  I like it WELL seasoned but not real salty.  So I did not add any salt, nor did I add sugar to sweeten it.

I have a ton of left over spaghetti for dinner tonight also LOL

 

Have fun!
