Ingredients

  • 1 lb hamburger or 1 lb ground venison
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dry basil
  • 1 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (29 ounce) can tomato puree
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • parmesan cheese (optional)

Method

  • Brown meat and onion in large skillet, drain. Combine all other ingredients in crock pot, add the meat and onion and parmesan cheese if desired. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. This makes quite a bit but the excess freezes very well.
