This is a family classic. Came from my Italian grandma. This is made the day before.(Over night in the fridge makes the sauce even better.) We usually make this with fresh tomatoes, however, canned diced tomatoes work just fine. The sauce was in the crockpot for 8 hrs. Very simple meat ball recipe: 1 egg, and 1 Cup Italian bread crumbs. This time I decided to brown them on my kettle using my homemade Vortex along with Italian sausage. I added the meat into the crockpot at the last 2.5 hours of cook. Pictures:

Man that makes me want some spaghetti. Never made my own sauce. Care to give more of the recipe
Sure.
14 oz beef broth (or 2 beef neck bones wrapped in cheese cloth)
28 oz diced tomatoes (or 5 fresh tomatoes)
29 oz tomato sauce
16 oz plus 6 oz tomato paste
1 tablespoon garlic powder(or 5 cloves fresh)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons each dried basil and oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
That is great looking! I wouldn't mind a plate of that even if it is 7 in the morning.
Thanks Steve!!

Amazing recipe you shared. Tomatoes which you added are mouth watery. I commonly use sauces and sometimes tomatoes, but now i am planning to do some changes in my recipe.
