3. With a slotted spoon, transfer browned meat into Slow Cooker.
4. Using the reserved drippings from the sausage, sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, then remove from heat.
5. If you would like a little spice to your sauce, add red pepper – transfer onion mix to slow cooker.
6. Purée the tomatoes in a blender (you can skip this step if you like your sauce chunky) and pour over meat in the slow cooker.
