Completely Crock Pot Spaghetti And Meatballs Recipes

CROCK POT SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart oval slow cooker, pour in half the jarred spaghetti sauce and do your best to spread it around evenly.
• Layer the frozen meatballs in a single layer (as best as possible) on top of spaghetti sauce.
• Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce over the meatballs.
• Then pour in 4 cups of water.
• Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and basil on top. No need to stir.
• Finally, layer the spaghetti noodles on top and evenly drizzle the spaghetti noodles with 2-3 tbsp olive oil to lightly coat.
• Then, gently push down the spaghetti noodles until they are under the water (breaking them if necessary to fit.)
• Try to make sure each noodle is coated in the sauce. This will help to keep the noodles from sticking together while cooking.
• Cover and cook on low for about 2.5 hours (until noodles are soft and meatballs are heated through).
• About halfway through, gently stir the noodles with a pasta fork to make sure none of the noodles are sticking together.
• Spaghetti is ready when the noodles are al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta.

• 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.

• Combine the spaghetti pasta, spaghetti sauce, frozen meatballs, and water in a 4-quart slow cooker and mix to combine. Make sure that the pasta is submerged in the liquid in the crock pot.
• Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or until pasta is tender and meatballs are thoroughly heated to 160 F as measured with a meat thermometer , stirring once with a large spoon during the cooking time. This method will make the pasta quite soft, like Spaghetti-Os.
