slow-cooker-spaghetti-sauceWelcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

With the Italian Days sale I had to share my family’s absolute favorite Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce.  The best thing about this one is that you throw everything in the crock pot and let it go all day. You end up with a phenomenal sauce that will feed a crowd. I typically cook it up then freeze half. Each half will be dinner for us plus a couple of days of lunch leftovers.

Besides being a perfect topping to basic spaghetti, it’s also wonderful for yummy baked pasta dishes. You can do a rocking baked ziti or lasagna with this sauce.
