Ingredients

1 can crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. dried oregano
kosher salt
Pepper
1 large onion
3 sprig basil
4 clove garlic
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
2 tbsp. panko bread crumbs
1/2 lb. sweet Italian sausage
1/2 lb. lean ground beef

Instructions

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the onion, basil, and half the garlic.
In a large bowl, combine the Parmesan, panko, remaining garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the sausage and beef and gently mix to combine.
