Gosh, not sure if I should review this since I had to make some substitutions. It's a very cold, windy day here and I wasn't about to go back out to the grocery store. I used a 26 (?) oz. jar of sauce, added a bit of olive oil, parmesan cheese, fennel seed and some Italian seasoning. No tomato sauce or tomato juice - so I just added about a cup of water to the sauce jar and swished it around good and dumped it in. Added ground beef that was browned with minced onion and jarred garlic. Threw it all in, mixed in the broken spaghetti. Set the CP on high (as I was going to be home while it was cooking) stirred it good half way through and called it down just short of three hours. We all liked it. I do legal transcription work from home and weekend afternoons are serious typing time - I loved being able to type while it was cooking and my family was still happy with a family favorite.

We did change this a bit, used low-sodium products and left out the dry mustard. I also used fresh mushrooms. It was a bit thick, but I added a little water. I also did the noodles separately as I've never had luck adding them to the crock in the past. This was really good and easy and a keeper for sure!
