2 lb. ground chuck
1 large can tomato sauce
2 cans tomato paste
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tbsp. pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp. Italian spices (optional)
2 to 3 onions, chopped fine
1/8 c. sugar
3 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. salt
1 green pepper, chopped fine

Mix all together in large bowl. Put in crock-pot on high until hot and then cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

Tips: Regular hamburger - too much fat comes to the top, so use lean ground chuck. Can also use this as hot dog sauce. Can cook in large pan on top of stove; only difference is that it bubbles and splatters and makes more of a mess. Crock-pot with lid on is cleaner way to cook it.
