"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."

Italians do not put oregano in tomato sauce....it is a greek spice.

What a great recipe, Adam. I only had one can of tomatoes on hand so I skinned and chopped some fresh Roma tomatoes and some paste to compensate. Sunday dinner without the fuss. Thanks.
