It just does not get any easier than this. This is a meal that you can put the meat in the crockpot while it is still frozen and everything turns out perfect. It does cook quickly, so if you’re putting it in the crockpot before you leave for work you will want to use the low setting.
Ingredients:
- (2) 24 oz jars of spaghetti sauce
- 1 bag of frozen meatballs
- 1-2 pounds of spaghetti noodles
Dump your frozen meatballs into the crockpot.
Pour the spaghetti sauce over the meatballs.
I like to get every last bit of sauce out of the jar and thin the sauce down a tad, so I add a little water to the empty jar and slosh it around.
I then pour the watery remnants into the crockpot.
This cooks pretty quickly. On the high setting it is certainly done in 4 hours (maybe quicker depending on your crockpot). Or, cook on low for about 6 hours. If it is done before you are ready to serve it, just put it on warm if your crockpot has that option.
About 20 minutes before you are ready to serve, boil your spaghetti noddles on the stove according to the package directions.
Plate it up and serve the spaghetti and meatballs over the noodles.
Freeze your leftovers and then make this spaghetti pie later
And that spaghetti jar? Re-purpose it into a vase as I did in this tutorial.
