Crockpot spaghetti and meatballs recipe
Description
The recipe begins by placing frozen meatballs into a crockpot with crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef stock, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. The mixture is cooked on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook thoroughly.
After this slow-cook period, uncooked spaghetti broken in half is stirred into the crockpot. It cooks on high for 30 minutes or until tender, absorbing flavors from the sauce. This method simplifies cooking pasta and sauce together, creating a hearty meal with minimal active time.
The dish is served with freshly grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, adding savory richness and a complementary taste to the tomato and meat combination.
