Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs

By , About.com Guide

This wonderful and super easy main dish tastes like SpaghettiOs. If your kids like canned pasta, they will LOVE this entree. You can vary the amount of pasta or meatballs according to your taste. Just make sure that the pasta is submerged in the liquid before you start the crockpot.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6 hours

Ingredients:

  • 2 handfuls spaghetti pasta, broken into pieces
  • 26 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
  • 20 frozen fully cooked meatballs
  • 1 cup water

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in 3-4 quart slow cooker and mix to combine. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 4-7 hours until pasta is tender and meatballs are thoroughly heated, stirring once during cooking time. This method will make the pasta quite soft.

OR, you can cook the sauce, meatballs, and water for 4-7 hours until hot, then stir in the pasta. Cover and cook on low for 45-55 minutes, stirring once, until the pasta is tender. This will make pasta that is more al dente. Serves 6
