1 lb. hamburger
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped bell pepper
1 c. chopped celery
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp. Italian herb seasoning
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 lg. can tomato sauce
1 lg. can water
1 pkg. spaghetti sauce seasoning

Brown hamburger with onion, bell pepper and garlic. Drain well and put into crockpot with all other ingredients. Have crockpot on high until sauce comes to a boil and then turn it to low and simmer for 6 hours.

Serve hot over favorite noodles (our family likes egg noodles) and goes well with the garlic bread, and a fresh salad.

Chopped bell pepper and celery can be kept in the freezer until ready to use. Be sure to rinse well before adding to any recipe to remove freezer taste.
