Crock Pot Spaghetti Recipe
Crock Pot Spaghetti
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef browned and drained
- 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce (your favorite brand)
- 3 cups water
- 12 oz uncooked spaghetti noodles broken in half
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Brown the beef. In a skillet, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add to the Crock Pot. Place the cooked beef into your slow cooker. Pour in the spaghetti sauce and water, and stir to combine.
- Add the noodles. Break the spaghetti noodles in half and gently stir them into the sauce mixture, making sure they are covered in liquid. (It’s okay if they stick out a little—they’ll soften as they cook!)
- Cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender.
- Add cheese. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover and let it melt for about 5 minutes before serving.
