Crockpot Baked Spaghetti


This recipe is great because you can make the entire dish in the crockpot.  One pot meals are fabulous when you have a busy day or a large group to feed.  And, who doesn't love spaghetti!

Crockpot Baked Spaghetti

1 lb. ground chuck (very lean)
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 diced bell pepper - finely chopped
1/2 small white onion - finely chopped
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. oregano
1 Tbsp. basil
1 Tbsp. ketchup
Enough spaghetti to feed 6 people (about a 2" round)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

Place ground beef in crockpot and add crushed tomatoes.  Dice onion and peppers and add it to the crockpot,  Add in the sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder and ketchup.  Cover and allow to cook for two hours.  Open occasionally and stir to make sure the hamburger is getting broken up.  Add uncooked spaghetti, cover and cook an additional 30 to 40 minutes (or until spaghetti is tender).

Top with shredded cheese.  Recover and allow cheese to melt for about 5 minutes.  Serve with toasted garlic bread.

Enjoy!
