I've been cooking all day!

I used my favorite pot today, my Crockpot! I use it a lot in the winter because it's so good for roasts, and stews, and chili, and a lot of other warming dishes. It makes the house smell so good! Today was spaghetti sauce, I browned about a pound of Italian sausage and about a pound and a half of ground beef in a skillet (in batches). Remove with a slotted spoon to drain the fat and put in the Crockpot. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Add one each, medium chopped onion and bell pepper. Add two 28 oz cans of crushed tomatoes and a half pound of sliced mushrooms. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook about 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. We're having spaghetti noodles (of course), salad, and cheesy garlic bread. Simply delicious!
