How to Make a Slow Cooker Italian Sunday Gravy Recipe [Episode 198]

By

A delicious meaty sauce made in the slow cooker. You may call this recipe a stew, a spaghetti sauce, meaty tomato sauce… but Italians call it Sunday Gravy. Meaty sauce with pork, beef, and Italian sausage, which goes with any kind of pasta or rice. This recipe will make enough for a big Sunday meal and plenty of left over for the rest of the week. You can also freeze it for future use. One of my favorites from The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook.
