WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

MARINARA SAUCE

2 cans (28-oz each) whole tomatoes
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove (or 2 if you prefer), chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt

Place tomatoes in batches in a blender container and process until smooth.

In a skillet, saute onion, carrots, and garlic just until tender (do not brown).

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker; place cover on cooker and cook on low 6 to 10 hours. If you want a thicker marinara, remove cover and cook on high the last hour.

Yield: Approximately 6 cups
