    4      tablespoons   cooking oil
    1      small         onion -- finely chopped
    1      (15 1/2 oz.)  tomato sauce
    1 1/2  cups          water
      1/2  teaspoon      pepper
      1/2  teaspoon      red pepper -- optional
    1      pound         ground beef
    1      (29 oz.) can  tomato puree
    1      (6 oz.) can   tomato paste
    1      teaspoon      salt
      1/2  teaspoon      oregano
    2      pounds        sausage (Italian links or country style)
 
 
  Brown ground beef in 2 tablespoon hot oil in frying pan.  When almost 
 browned, add onion and continue browning until onion is tender.  Pour meat 
 and onion into 3 1/2 quart crockpot.
 
  Add puree, sauce, paste, water, salt, pepper and oregano and set dial on 
 low setting.  Cut 2 lbs. sausage into pieces and brown in remaining 2 
 tablespoons oil.  When brown, place sausages in sauce in crockpot.
 Continue cooking for 12 hours.  (If you like your sauce sweeter, you could 
 add 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar to this.)
