In a skillet cook ground beef, sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender; drain off fat. Meanwhile in crockpot, combine undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, mushrooms, green pepper, tapioca, bay leaves, oregano, basil, pepper, and salt. Stir in browned meat mixture. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10-12 hours or high heat setting for 5-6 hours. Remove bay leaves. Serve over hot spaghetti. Makes 8-10 servings.
