Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce

This Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce is a deliciously healthy meat sauce that’s perfect over any kind of pasta. This set-it-and-forget-it recipe is a family favorite, and it couldn’t be easier to make!!   *I originally posted this Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce in March 2016, but I’m updating this post for you, my dear readers, today with a brand new tutorial video! Enjoy! Don’t you just love those old faithful standby meals? You know, those meals that are so easy and that you’ve made so many times you could practically make them in your sleep? I’ve shared a few of mine with you already, like these Oven Chicken Fajitas and this Easy Roasted Chicken Dinner, but this Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce is even better!! The only thing about easy meals is that healthy food often takes lots of preparation and cooking time, so easy does not always mean healthy. Unless your slow cooker does it all for you, that is! This Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce is one of my favourite meals to make because it’s one of those set-it-and-forget-it dinners that taste like you spent all day slaving over a hot stove. And it’s packed full of healthy vegetables, which is more than you can say for most easy, kid-friendly meals! I have so many hilarious memories of my kids stuffing their faces with this sauce over whole grain spaghetti. If you have little ones, I’m sure you can identify with those strip-them-down-to-their-diaper-and-plunk-them-in-the-bath-afterwards meals…this is definitely one of those!

Another thing that’s great about this sauce is that you can customize it based on whatever you happen to have on hand. If you don’t have fresh carrots, add some sliced mushrooms instead for a more earthy taste. My kids will eat just about any vegetable if I hide it in a pasta sauce like this one, but feel free to customize this Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce recipe to your family’s tastes. It’s bound to become a family favorite at your house too! I’ve been reigniting my love affair with my slow cooker lately and I just can’t say enough about how much easier dinner time has been!
