1 lb. ground beef round
1 (15 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup parsley flakes
1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. marjoram leaves
1/4 tsp. thyme leaves
1/8 tsp. oregano leaves
1/8 tsp. fennel seed
1 (4 oz.) can mushrooms, drained (optional)

In a Crock-Pot put the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped celery and spices.

In a frying pan put the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, and brown. After browning, drain off the grease/fat and dump into the Crock-Pot with the other stuff.

Slow cook for 3 to 4 hours. Do not overcook the sauce or it will have a burnt taste. Serve over angel hair pasta.
