Steps:

• Break spaghetti in half and put in crock pot.

• 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.

SLOW COOKER SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix together crushed tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and bay leaf for the sauce in a slow cooker.
• Place ground beef, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper for the meatballs in a large bowl. Mix gently, but thoroughly, with your hands until well combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Drop into sauce in the slow cooker, stir, and cover.
• Cook on Low until meatballs are cooked through, 4 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Just before meatballs and sauce are finished cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce and meatballs.

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.
