Here's a recipe from the Crockpot Cookbook that came with the crockpot. I received this crockpot as a gift in 1976 and am still using it! It's a Rival model 3150, 3 1/2 Qt.

I couldn't find a spaghetti sauce recipe in the book but this one is called Italian Meat Sauce. Maybe it's the one you're thinking of?

Italian Meat Sauce

1 c. chopped onion
1 - 1/2 lbs. ground chuck, browned
2 cloves garlic
1 large can tomatoes (1lb 12oz)
1 6oz can tomato paste
2 stalks celery, with tops, chopped
2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf

Put all ingredients in crockpot. Stir thoroughly. Cover and cook on Low 10 - 12 hrs or High 3 - 5 hrs.

Ingredients may be increased by half for the 5 Qt model.

Hope that helps you.
