I'm going to have to try this just to satisify my curiosity about that cinnamon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted a good marinara sauce recipe for quite some time. I'm ashamed to admit that I still use canned.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna give this one a try!
I use a similar recipe and use tomatoes from my garden, and then can the sause and eat off of it all winter. I currently have about 3 jars left. (I leave out the meat and add it when I open up the canned sauce to serve.) Gotta love the crock pot.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones. This would be great for camping. Not too many fresh ingredients to go bad. Cinnamon is sneaky additon, bet it tastes good.
ReplyDeleteOh Hooray! I've been craving spaghetti sauce but it's been too HOT to even think of cooking over the stove....what a fabulous recipe for the crock pot! Thank you!!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I love pasta sauce with cinnamon in it. I make my sauce with crushed red pepper for a little spice and I add cinnamon to it as well - it was a trick I learned from my dad!
ReplyDeleteYum!! It looks so delicious!! I am intrigued with the addition of the cinnamon! Thanks for a great quick version!!
ReplyDeleteWill have to try. The cinnamon intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought to add cinnamon to the recipe. I think that would really add a nice flavor to the sauce. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been using jarred sauce for quite a few years. Gasp!
ReplyDeleteNot only did I try this I used it for this months crazy cooking challenge in a baked spaghetti. Thanks for sharing, it was a huge hit!
