Crock Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Terri Newell's Note:

This recipe is special more for its cooking method than its ingredients. You can modify it to suit your taste, but I think you'll agree...making spaghetti and meatballs can't get any easier than this !

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 12 ounces raw spaghetti
• 26 ounces spaghetti sauce
• 20 frozen cooked meatballs
• 1 cup water

Directions:

1. Break spaghetti in half and put in crock pot.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir.
3. Cover, cook on Low 4-6 hours, or on High 2 hours. Stir once at "halftime".
4. Note -- I use homemade meatballs, which I always have on hand, but I use a purchased sauce with garlic that my children love. The can size was 681 ml. Also, I never measure the pasta, I just use two handfuls. But the Recipezaar editors could not computer such a measurement.

Genius! Who knew you could cook the noodles in the crockpot too!?! How easy! I followed exactly and it came out absolutely PERFECT! My little toddler wanted THREE helpings of it! The noodles come out super soft, which we personally love. This is a keeper! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Easy-Peasy! I used whole grain pasta, my fave sauce, and frozen meatballs. I did have trouble stirring halfway through; I used a 4-qt. Crock Pot. And some of the meatballs got too soft and broke apart. Anyway, this tasted deelish and worked out ga-reat for us. Thanx.
