1 or 228 oz.jars spaghetti sauce
20frozen meatballsabout5 meatballs per person
1TbspItalian seasoning
Instructions
If you are not using a disposable Crockpot liner, be sure to spray the inside with non-stick spray for easy cleanup.
Add the desired amount of frozen meatballs into your prepared Crockpot. About 4-5 meatballs per person should be enough. Save the rest in the freezer for another meal.
Pour the spaghetti sauce over the top of the meatballs. I often use two jars if I am feeding more than two people. Everyone loves lots of pasta sauce on top of the cooked noodles.
Then sprinkle the Italian seasoning on top of the sauce and stir.
Set your Crockpot to Low and allow to cook for about three hours. Remove the lid and stir once about half way through the cook time.
Once the meatballs and sauce are done. Let them simmer while you cook the spaghetti noodles.
Cooking the spaghetti noodles
Follow the directions on the package for cooking the spaghetti noodles. That will mean using a large pot to boil water. Bring the water to a boil, add the noodles and cook for about 12 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Drain in a colander. Sprinkle a dab of olive oil over the noodles and toss to coat.
Place the desired amount of spaghetti noodles onto your serving plate. Top with meatballs and sauce. Serve and enjoy!
