The best Slow Cooker Pasta sauce EVER! I really mean that

This recipe came out of a combination of other recipes till I found the one I liked. Dont let the baby food ingredient fool you, Buca Di Peppo uses it! 1lb Lean ground Meat ( Beef works best) 2 Onions diced (or half bag of frozen prediced) 2tbs Minced Garlic (I use the preminced jar kind..so much easier) 3-14oz Can Tomato Sauce 1-6oz Can Tomato paste 2- Stage 2 Carrot baby food (or 4 of Stage 1, do not use Stage 3 its chunky) 2 Celery stalks finely chopped (i often leave this out, cant decide if its nessary) 2tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 2tsp Dried Oregano 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme 1/2 tsp Dried Basil 1/4 tsp Dried Sage 1 Bay leaf 1 Cup water Cook Meat and drain any fat Combine everything in a crock pot Slow for 8-10hrs. I have a 8qt Crockpot and CANNOT double this, yes it originally fits but after 8-10hrs it starts to over flow. It freezes very well and a family favorite
