What's for Dinner - Crockpot Spaghetti
Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 5:30AM 
It's Wednesday again and I'm sharing what we are having for dinner.... tonight it is one of our very FAVORITES! It is also probably the EASIEST meal I make. You can make a whole bunch and put leftovers in the freezer and then pull it out on a night when you just don't feel like cooking. Ever have one of those nights?
We love spaghetti, and ever since my friend, Melissa, made this for us one cold night in North Carolina I've always made my spaghetti in the crockpot. It just doesn't taste good to us otherwise. It must have something to do with the fact that it cooks all day and really makes the flavors come out.... and the house smells really good all day.
Here goes -
1 lb. ground beef (I usually double this)
1 large jar (2 jars if you're doubling) of your favorite spaghetti sauce (I usually buy whatever is the cheapest!)
minced garlic
tablespoon sugar
chopped onions (I used the minced onions you find in the spices aisle)
Brown the ground beef and onions. Put in crockpot and pour sauce over top. Add a little minced garlic and sugar. Stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. YUM!!!
Serve over cooked noodles.
Enjoy ~ leave me a comment and let me know what's for dinner in your house tonight!
Also.... if you like the recipes each week and want to grab the "What's For Dinner" button (available on my sidebar) to put on your site, feel free! I would love to turn this Wednesday post into a linky, but am waiting until after our vacation in mid February to do so.... it's a learning curve thing - if I have to learn one more thing right now my head might just explode!!

Oh this sounds great! I usually make baked spaghetti but this is even easier. Thanks for sharing.
Yum!! We make crockpot spaghetti almost every week. Most of the time I add frozen meatballs instead of ground beef, and I substitute sugar with honey. I serve it with spaghetti or rolls (for meatball subs) or with both. I love using my crockpot, and I love your idea of making this a linky! I'm always looking for new easy recipes to try.
This looks delicious! I love getting new ideas! I have not tried this but will do so. Have a great day!
