Ingredients Needed
- Crushed tomatoes
- Tomato paste
- Onion
- Dried oregano
- Garlic powder
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt/Pepper
Onion
If desired, you can use dried onion flakes or onion powder, instead of a fresh onion. If you do go with the dried version, you can cut your cooking time by about 30 minutes.
Dried Spices
Below is what I like to add to our sauce. However, of course, feel free to adjust them as you like. You can also use fresh spices/herbs.

How to Make
Add your ingredients into the pot of your slow cooker. Give them a stir. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours or until the onions are soft.
Storage
Let the sauce cool completely, then, store it in airtight jars/containers in the refrigerator. If desired, you can also freeze this sauce. Be sure the container/jars are freezer safe and remove as much air as possible. Refrigerated sauce is best used within a week. Frozen sauce will be good for a couple of months.
