I call it sauce, but I have family and friends that call it Gravy. That is fine with me. The bottom line is that it is so delicious, no matter what you call it.If you have little ones or very little time to cook, this is the perfect dish to make. I would love to make this on the stove-top, but do not have the time, so I decided to try it in a slow cooker. It makes a lot, so either invite people over or be prepared to eat a lot.The sugar helps to eliminate the bitterness of the canned sauces. You can use other meats, instead of stew meat. I have heard people use ribs, which I will try one day. Sounds good to me.Enjoy!

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

If you plan to accompany this delicious Italian tomato sauce with spaghetti, you can accentuate the flavor of the spaghetti in the way they normally do in Italy, just mix the spaghetti with the sauce in a pan, heat them for 5 minutes and serve it with grated Parmesan cheese on top.I recommend you store it in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container.This spectacular and delicious recipe is ideal with your favorite pasta, to arrange a cannelloni or lasagna, you can also add meatballs in it and serve with boiled white rice.It is a versatile and very delicious recipe, I hope you prepare it and enjoy it at home.

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!

I make and store this sauce every year during tomato season. If you don't want the seeds in the sauce, you can strain the sauce to remove them. This tomato sauce goes well with anything.Leave the tomatoes out at room temperature.Since all you have to do is boil, peel and simmer the tomatoes, this is very easy to make.This sauce has a wide variety of uses, such as pasta or simmered tomatoes, and it's very convenient to have stored and ready to use. (You can store it in freezer bags in the freezer as well.) Try making this tomato sauce during the summer. Recipe by Iriko

10 years ago, I heard Chef Ochiai (a celebrity chef in Japan) saying that if you roast whole vegetables, you can really bring out their umami and fragrance to make a rich sauce! And that you could store the sauce in the refrigerator! I've been making my own version at home and keeping it on hand since then.When sautéing the aromatic vegetables, brown them properly in order to make a rich tasting tomato sauce. Then, just simmer! Since the aromatic vegetables are removed, I could keep the sauce in containers sterilized with boiling water for more than a month in the refrigerator. You can use this sauce on pasta, on sautéed chicken, in egg dishes and all sorts of recipes. Recipe by kebeibiko

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.

This is my original tomato sauce and it goes well with pizza and spaghetti. Enjoy!

I just felt in the mood for making spaghetti sauce. I thought it would be cool to make my own since I couldn't find any spaghetti sauce figured why not make my own.

This is a recipe I got from a cooking specialist that I really respect. I've made this countless times over the past 10+ years and added my own spin. It's a very special recipe.Above all else, it's very crucial to simmer the onions for 20 minutes. This is what brings out their sweetness. Since you'll be simmering over low heat, it won't stick to the pan. But be sure to mix from the bottom occasionally! I always make twice the amount and freeze leftovers. Recipe by Anchomai. Yields about 600 ml.

I learned this while I was abroad. This is an easy version that's light on the oil. It's a simple and delicious all-purpose sauce with no frills!Be sure not to burn the garlic when cooking it. You can make various versions by adding meat, vegetables, white sauce, sour cream, curry powder, etc. If you want to have a thicker sauce, you can add some katakuriko potato starch to adjust the thickness.

I thought of a simple tomato sauce that would work well with all kinds of cooking.*If you don't have a blender, you can use canned chopped tomatoes. *If you're using fresh tomatoes, chop them up and then heat them in the microwave (I cooked 3 tomatoes for 5 minutes).Please simmer them after blending. If you want to preserve the fresh taste of the tomatoes, then you don't have to add them to the blender. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
