Prep: 25 minutes Cook: 9 to 10 hours low or 41/2 to 5 hours high 1. Remove sausage from casing. In a large skillet cook ground beef and sausage over medium heat until brown. Drain off fat. 2. Transfer meat mixture to a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Stir in all ingredients except spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, salad, and bread. 3. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 9 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 41/2 to 5 hours. (I usually start mine out on high for about 3 - 4 hours and then turn it on low, it really doesn't matter if it cooks longer than 9-10 hours as long as your slow cooker isn't super hot (some of the old ones are), Then I will turn mine to warm until serving time) 4. Serve meat sauce over hot cooked spaghetti. If desired, sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese. Serve with a salad and bread. Makes 16 servings. (I usually have enough left over sauce to stick in the freezer for another meal or to use as the sauce for lasagne!)
