Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 48 ounce jar Prego Mushroom Sauce (or your favorite)
  • 24 ounce jar Classico Cabernet Marinara Sauce (or your favorite)
  • 24 ounce jar Classico Spicy Red Pepper Sauce (or your favorite)
  • 14 ounce jar Pizza Sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ cup red wine (I used Cabernet)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 4 to 5 pepperoncinis
  • sat & pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes to taste *optional

Instructions

  • In a multi cooker on high (or skillet or pot if cooking on stove top - over medium high heat), sprinkle on garlic salt or salt and pepper to taste. Crumble ground beef and Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink. Drain fat from meat.
  • Return to slow cooker or pot. Add in jarred sauces, garlic, red wine, sugar and stir. Add salt & pepper (or red pepper flakes, if desired) to taste. Top with 4 to 5 pepperoncinis. 
  • Cover with lid and cook in slow cooker for 8  hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. 
  • If cooking on stovetop, Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until warm. I like to cook at least 1 hour to develop flavor.
