Are there any "dump-the-jar-of-prego-into-a-saucepan-and-warm-up" peeps out there? Not for long because this sauce is easy AND delicious! Â I've never been a fan of jarred sauces. There is just something about the flavor of them that I don't like.
Homemade Spaghetti Seasoning
The seasoning in this dish are probably in your pantry already, and you're never going to want to eat the jarred stuff again. Â Skip the preservative and ingredients you can't pronounce and try out this easy spaghetti sauce for your next pasta night.
For my big punch of flavor I used my favorite Redmond Real Salt Garlic Salt and Onion Salt. Â Real Salt is America's only unrefined ancient sea salt. Â I really love that it is mined here in the US - in my hometown state - Utah! Â And most importantly I love the taste! Â Real Salt is no match for those regular salts.
Great For A Dinner Party
This spaghetti sauce is a hit for dinner parties because you can make it in advance in the slow cooker - leaving you the chance to enjoy your company rather than slaving in the kitchen.
Spaghetti is economical and feeds the masses!  Serve with french bread and a salad and you will have a winning meal.
Slow Cooker of Pressure Cooker
I've included instructions for the pressure cooker and for the slow cooker below - so if you're in a rush, throw it in the pressure cooker, if you want it to slow cook all day - opt for the crock pot!
