[NEW] Slow Cooker Mushroom Bolognese

If you can't find Crimini mushrooms, go ahead and use your favorite mushroom variety for this vegetarian twist on Bolognese sauce. Feel free to replace the canned tomatoes wtih fresh, peeled and diced tomatoes. If you prefer a perfectly smooth sauce, using an immersion blender at the end of the cook time will do the trick.
