Instructions
Brown ground beef on the stovetop (you can also use ground turkey, ground sausage, or a combination).
Add salt and pepper to flavor the meat.
When meat is browned, add garlic, basil, and oregano and sauté 1-2 minutes longer.
Transfer meat and spice mixture to crock pot.
Add wine, tomato paste, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and bay leaves.
Note: the wine amount isn't exact - I typically just pour in the remainder of the my bottle from the night before - less than 1 cup is probably best.
Cook on low-medium heat for 6-8 hours.
Add sugar and adjust amount to taste.
Serve over cooked pasta.
Cool and separate remaining sauce into Ziplock freezer bags.
Freeze up to 60 days. Reheat on stovetop or in a microwave safe bowl.
