I’ve been playing around with this recipe for years, trying to perfect it. I got the gist of it from my mother, but I’ve tweaked it to suit my taste. By the way, if you’re familiar with Philadelphia lingo, there’s an ongoing debate as to whether it’s called “sauce” or “gravy”. My logic is, if you’re cooking meat in it for flavor, then it’s definitely GRAVY!

I married an Italian jersey boy so I had to learn to make an acceptable gravy for dinner.

I wanted to make something to go well with rice using whatever I had on hand in the fridge.You can use any vegetables you have at home such as Chinese chives. You can use either firm or silken tofu! Recipe by eterno

I had some ground pork and I wanted to see how it would taste in my sauce. We ate it as chili. Froze some for future date. Saved some for tonights dinner. Plan to add elbow macaroni to it and top it with cheese. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

Bolognese is another sauce that reminds me of my childhood. At least once a month, my mom would make it for us. To me, it was a delicious delight, but to her it was a money saver. Sauce, meat, herbs, & spices. Simple, but oh so good.I order it a lot, when I go out. But as with a lot of stuff, I wanted to make it myself. Combining different recipes found online, I came up with this recipe, along with my wife. This is the recipe that we agreed upon.We hope that you like it as much as we do. #mycookbookEnjoy!

Every now and then, I love to make tomato sauce. Not to brag, but I do make a good sauce. To everyone, except my son. My dad would get bread to dip into the pot that I used to make my sauce. My son? He would say, "Mmmmm! Delicious!" That was it, he would not want any more of it.I took the chance to make my sauce in the slow cooker and boy did it pay off. Even my son loved it. That was it for me. I am sold on making my sauce in the slow cooker. He could not get enough of it and that convinced me to keep making it in the slow cooker.For the sauce, you can use any can of sauce that you wish to use. Whether it be crushed, whole tomato, pureed, sauce, it all works in this recipe.For this recipe, I used tomato puree and sauce. I usually use crushed tomatoes and sauce, but I thought that I would keep the pieces of tomato to a minimum for my son. Pure Genius!We cooked it for 8 hours and it was perfect, but you can cook it for 6 hours instead. Either way, at the halfway point, stir the sauce, put the lid back on the pot, and cook for the remaining time.You can also use fresh herbs & spices and cloves of garlic. It will really give this recipe a nice flavor punch. I hope that you like this sauce as much as my family & friends do.Enjoy!

This is a pretty basic sauce that's easy to make. Adding the blended basil leaves at the end adds a good fresh taste.

I love super easy crock pot recipes. Put everything in crock pot in the morning and dinner is ready when you get home. This is especially good because it makes its own gravy.

Thick and rich and full of flavor. It may take all day, but this is a recipe to sit back and enjoy your sunday while this gravy simmers away. Enjoy some wine. It is loaded with meat and rather heavy, so go light on the pasta and serve this almost like an italian stew with a side of noodles.

I added some sliced onion and mushroom and served over egg noodles. Meat was so tender and delicious!

Cook time about two and a half hours. You can speed up cook time by cooking the mushrooms and onions in a pan prior to putting them in the sauce. This sauce is not a sweet sauce. I make alot so i can freeze the rest being a basball mom i need stuff to just thaw and heat up. Even better the second day.

A hearty, meaty Italian sauce that's simmered for hours. Perfect for a big Sunday dinner. Not expecting 30 people? Freeze the leftover sauce!
