1 16-oz can tomato sauce

1 32-oz can diced tomatoes in tomato sauce

1 14-oz can artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained - would have used frozen if I had them since they have no sodium

7 garlic cloves, pressed

1-2 T Kroger Zesty Blend (garlic and herb salt-free seasoning)

1 T red chile pepper

2 t thyme

Empty tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with sauce, and drained artichoke hearts into crockpot. Add beef. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours.
