You can add and/or subtract the spices to your liking. A good option is adding minced onions and Romano cheese. You can also make this a vegetarian dish by leaving out the meat. Or you can make meatballs and add them to this just before serving... I prefer the meat added in beforehand because it gives the sauce more flavour.

If using fresh garlic I suggest one or 2 slivers depending on how garlicy you want it.

The longer the sauce simmers the better it gets. If you have literally all day use 5-10 fresh tomatoes and mash them well and drain the water as best you can and use the recipe above. It will take a few hours to make the sauce as desired. Paste will reduce the time to about 20 mins total and will produce a very thick sauce. puree will take about 30-45 minutes and the sauce will be less thick than the paste but will make a nice thick sauce.

Julie’s Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce (a-k-a Sunday Gravy) Julie’s Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce (a-k-a Sunday Gravy)
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!

Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce/Gravy Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce/Gravy
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!
