Directions

1. Blend the stewed tomatoes and crushed tomatoes in a blender. In a stock pot or large kettle, brown the ground beef with the onions, peppers, garlic. Pour in tomatoes, and reduce heat. Add sugar, basil and oregano, and simmer about 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving. 
2. I actually use the slow cooker for 1/2 a day and add a small can of tomato paste to thicken it up a bit.  And I sneak in mushroom, but shhhhhhhhh!  don't tell the fam.
3. Serve with garlic bread and salad, and it's a delicious and healthy meal.
