When I find a pasta sauce that I love, I buy jars and jars and jars of it. It's even better when I find it on sale. That's just the case with today's creation. There was a 50% off sale at Whole Foods on large jars of Rao's Homemade Marinara sauce. I bought a jar one week and we had some during the week and loved it, so the next weekend when it was still on sale, I bought a few more jars.
Today was cold, rainy and ick - also known as a perfect day to bring out the crock pot! Looking through my cupboards and freezer drawer, I pulled out the following...
(Short grain) brown rice - ~2 cups
1 large jar of marinara sauce (Rao's comes in a large, 24 oz. jar)
1 bag frozen 365-Brand organic "California Blend" veggies
Remnants of a bag of Boca crumbles
3/4 bag of no-meat meatballs (maybe 12 total?)
Dump it all in your crock pot. Stir gently. Add in 3/4 (sauce) jar of water. Cook on low while you're at work. Come home to a dinner for MANY - or dinner for 2 plus lunch for the week!
