Tips for Cooking Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs
There are a few things to know about this recipe. I added lots of sauce and a little water. If you don’t have enough water or sauce the noodles will stay hard. They need moisture in order to cook properly. It’s important to note that I used Whole Grain Spaghetti noodles.
Each noodle type may cook a bit different time wise. Be sure to check the noodles by stirring them about 2 hours into cooking this dish. If they are not soft by this time, you may need a bit more water.
Can I Use Ground Beef In Replace of Meatballs
Also, the meatballs I used were Italian flavored. I did not add any additional seasonings at all. We didn’t have a need to. Probably because I used the fire roasted crushed tomatoes. Those are packed with flavor.
You are welcome to brown up some ground beef or even sausage and use in replace of meatballs. Just cook on the stove, drain grease, then pour cooked meat into Crockpot!
