I didn't want to rate this because I can see how it would be very appealing if you have certain tastes. However, my husband and I love our italian food and prefer more authentic preperation methods for spaghetti. I thought I would give this a shot because it seemed so easy and I love crock pot recipes but it just wasn't our tastes (my kids loved it). I followed the recipe exactly, it was a little sticky and low on flavor for our liking and was definately not saucy enough. This was a very "stick to your ribs" kind of meal with lots of meat. The flavor was okay but very different. So, if your looking for an authentic spaghetti this probably isn't a good recipe for you. If your looking for an easy filling recipe that's a little different this is a good fit.

This was disgusting-not the flavor of the sauce, I did my own seasoning, but the noodles were like eating glue. I added water repeatedly, trying to thin it out but it was the noodles themselves that I couldnt stand. They were thick (and I used angel hair pasta) and just...gross. I had three bites and couldnt even bring myself to eat it.

Yummy and easy to make. I halved the salt because it seemed like too much but next time I won't because it needs the full amount. I added a chopped green pepper because I had to use it up. I also topped my plate with some crumbled cheddar and it was great. I loved the fact that I did not need to precook the pasta.

I made this in a roaster-sized crockpot, and doubled the recipe. It was easy to prepare, and everyone enjoyed it. Instead of the tomato juice, I used crushed tomatoes, and I added a couple of tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. I think the spaghetti absorbed a lot of the moisture, so next time, I think I'll add a little bit of boiling water when I add the pasta.
