Easy Spaghetti Sauce

Brown Italian sausage with prepped veggies (prepped in advance, from yesterday's Newburg), onion, shallot, celery, carrot, parsley. Dash of garlic powder. Drain extra grease. Add tomato paste, cook with the meat on top of the stove. Transfer to a slowcooker, add a can of your favorite sauce (yep), and a bay leaf.
