This was a huge hit, even with my raw-vegan friend! We've had hot days and today hit 108?, so I opted to adjust this recipe for the crock pot. I used ground turkey instead of beef. I cooked the turkey, bacon and the veggies per instructions, threw everything else in the crock pot, and then spent the rest of the day in the pool. Everyone really enjoyed this recipe. The bacon sets it apart from other spaghetti sauces, and the only thing I'd change is to add about a teaspoon of sugar next time. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Papa D. Made and enjoyed for the 2012 Cookathon in memory of Papa D.

Great flavours though I did have to omit the onion for dietary/allegy reasons and as my home made tomato paste (complements of a neighbour) in very intense I only added 2 tablespoons and over the spaghettie made a delicious meal with a side salad. Thank you Papa D and made in your memory for your cook-a-'thon..

I adapted the recipe to include some garden produce on hand and prepared in the crockpot on low for 5 hours. The sauce is delicious and has great depth of flavor. I added finely diced zucchini, green bell pepper, and a pinch of sugar. I will definitely make this again! Made for Papa D's Cookathon June 2012

Made this recipe pretty much as given, but I DID mince the mushrooms pretty fine, so that I didn't have any large pieces to frown about, & when it was finished, I added a generous half teaspoon of baking soda to cut, what I was sure would be a strong acid component from the tomatoes & its paste! This is a nice change from my usual homemade pasta sauce! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend]

Welcome to my page, Born and raised in Montana and now I’m retired Navy and I live in North East Florida on 5 acres in the country. I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>)
My review guidelines are as follows:
5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again!
4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly.
3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes.
2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations.
