I switched this up a bit due to the previous reviews. First of all, I made a batch and a half. I used both diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. I added mushrooms, 2 bay leaves, some Italian Seasoning, sugar, 1 small can of roast garlic flavored tomato sauce and a bunch of parmesan cheese. The result was fabulous (the cheese and the sugar were the keys to perfection here)! I cooked it for 4 hours on high, then 1 hour on low. I put it in jars and will be giving it to the neighbors as Holiday gifts.

I was so excited to make this being that I love Sun Dried tomatoes. I am SOOO disappointed in the outcome! It was terrible, I made it in a crock pot, and there was not enough liquid in the recipe so it turned out more like a mushy paste, GROSS! PLUS, the cooking time said you could cook up to 8 hours, I did about 7, but when I got home from work, it was charred to the bottom and sides of my crock pot, and my house smelled terrible! I will never make this again. Beware if you are planning on making this, I needs to be watched at all times, and water or some other type of liquid will need to be added, unless you like paste.

I doubled this and froze some too. Delish! It's a keeper.

This recipe is very wonderful tasting. I ended up adding a couple cans of plain tomato sauce though because the sauce was too chunky and not saucy after cooking for 6 hours. very good flavor.

this sauce was so good! i omitted the canned whole tomatoes and put a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce, a small can of tomato paste, and a little tomato puree in there to sauce it up more. also, we added eight italian (hot and mild) sausages to it to make it more flavourful. :) thank you!
