Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  1. Brown the ground beef or Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Add diced onions and minced garlic; cook until fragrant and translucent. Drain excess fat and transfer to the slow cooker.
