Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes (1-2 fresh otherwise)
1 can (8 oz.) tomato paste
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey or white sugar
1-1 1/2 Tbsp. each dried oregano and basil (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:
Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the diced onions and cook until soft.  

Add the garlic and allow to cook for 2-3 additional minutes.  Do not burn the garlic.  

Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker including the onions and garlic.  Set on low for 8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.  Be sure to keep an eye on it the first time you are making it as it depends heavily on your slow cooker.  This sauce freezes beautifully.
