Prep time: 15  min

Cook time: 7 hours

Total time: 7 hours   15 min

Number of Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 2 lbs. ground beef 5 % or less mince
• 1-1/2 tsp. salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 2 cups passatta
• 2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp. tomato pureé
• 1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Directions:

• Place the chopped onions and celery in the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Place the beef, 1 tsp. of salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl.
• Use your hands to mix the salt and pepper into the beef. Divide the hamburger mixture into eight balls, each the same size.
• Flatten so they look like hamburger patties. Place the patties in the slow cooker on top of the onions and celery. Try not to stack them. If you have to, stagger them, so they don’t lie exactly on top of each other.
• Wash your hands well.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl stir together the passatta, minced garlic, pureé, Italian seasoning and remaining salt. Pour this sauce over the hamburgers in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker, and cook the burgers on low for 7-9 hours.

Serve with SW style chips and a nice fresh crispy salad.
