http://img.recipezaar.com/t..."> 5¼ hours 10 min prep


2
envelopes spaghetti sauce mix

2
cans tomato sauce (8 oz)

2
cups water

2
small eggplants

2
small bell peppers, cut into 1 inch chunks

6
medium tomatoes, cut into small wedges

1
teaspoons salt

16
ounces uncooked spaghetti

8
ounces grated mozzarella cheese


In slow cooker pot, mix dry sauce mix with tomato sauce and water.
Cut zucchini into 1/2" crosswise slices.
Peel eggplant, slice thinly, the cut each slice into quarters.
Add all the diced and sliced veggies to the crockpot.
Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
Drain.
Serve sauce on top of cooked spaghetti with mozzarella sprinkled on top.

If you want a meat sauce, brown and drain 1 or 2 lbs ground beef (I use 93% lean/7% fat) and add to mixture about 2-3 hours after starting, otherwise the spaghetti will be greasy.

Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce
2 lb. ground beef
1 onion
1 green pepper
2 cans mushrooms
2 cans tomato paste
2 cans tomato sauce
2 T. brown sugar
1 garlic clove
1 t. salt
1 t. garlic powder
3 T. oregano
1 T. Italian seasoning
2 T. sugar
1 T. basil
1/8 t. cajun seasoning
1/2 t. red pepper
1/2 t. thyme
2 T. flour
1 t. onion powder
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can beef broth
1 28 oz. tomato juice
Cook on low 8-10 hours

Instead of tomato sauce - try Bold Manwich Sauce. No tomato or V8 juice. It is different and it is excellent. I cook my spaghetti noodles prior to placing in crock pot. This is not a juicy meal-it's "drier " than what spaghetti.

Thank you very much!!! I will give it a try this weekend.

I was wondering if anyone had a recipe of crockpot spaghetti they were willing to share. I think you put uncooked spaghetti in it and also juice. (V-8, or tomato juice possibly). It also included hamburger meat and some spices.
