Wonderful Crock Pot Italian Tomato Sauce

This inspiration for this recipe was from my Italian relative. This is a very simple, delicious and authentic Italian tomato sauce, but instead of cooking it on the stove you prepare it in a crock pot. It makes alot so I like to freeze it in smaller batches, it freezes beautifully.
