TGIF! I am definitely glad it is Friday!
This weekend is my son’s 1st birthday party and we have a whole bunch of out of town guests coming for it. I can’t wait to see them all and celebrate! On a different note…this past weekend I made a big batch of Crock Pot Marinara Sauce and was able to freeze a good amount of leftovers (bonus).
As a working Mom I always like days when I can do that! I don’t know about you but I love Italian food, especially pasta with a rich, tasty marinara sauce.
I have been using my Mom’s Crock Pot Marinara Sauce recipe for years. I grew up loving her marinara sauce..it’s still one of my favorite meals that she makes. Her meatballs are also delicious, but that’s for another post.
Crock Pot Marinara Sauce
This Crock Pot Marinara Sauce is my go-to recipe that I make on a Sunday and freeze for the future (of course it is always better fresh).
I hope you like it as much as we do!
Julia trying to see this recipe (mentioned in Parmesan crusted pork chops) 03/23 but it isn’t here?
So sorry this recipe had some issues! I am trying to fix it.
Hi
I canโt see the recipe.
Is it possible to find it else where?
Thanks.
Edith
Let me see if I can fix it. Sorry!
What kind of bouillon? Chicken?
Yes! Hope you like it!
We will! Thanks so much!
About how many cups of sauce will this make?
Also, can you use crushed tomatoes instead of diced? Sorry if that is a dumb question, but I have never made my own sauce before and this looks like something I can do!
Yes you can use crushed tomatoes-that would work fine!
It serves about 7-8 people and makes a lot of sauce. I usually feed my husband and myself a meal and have two meals to freeze. I would say about 10 cups maybe? Sorry I do not know the exact amount of cups but it does make a lot so you can freeze some for later.
Hello! This is definitely a keeper. But I have 1 question: the ingredients list an 18 oz. can tomato sauce and a can of water from 16 oz. tomato sauce can. Should these amounts match, and if so, is the correct amount 18 or 16? Thanks so much, Cheryl
You can really do either depending on the consistency that you want–I usually do 18oz which I will correct on the recipe. Some people like their sauce a little thinner than others so it is up to you. Thanks for pointing that out!
