Ingredients for Slow Cooker Baked Spaghetti

  • 48 oz. of pasta sauce
  • 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef
  • 1/2 cup of diced white onion
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp. of salt
  • 1 tsp. of dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. of dried basil
  • 1 lb. spaghetti noodles see below for cooking instructions, these don’t get cooked or added until after the sauce cooks for 6 hours

Cheese topping after sauce cooks

  • 4 ounces of cream cheese 1/2 cup
  • 1 cup of ricotta
  • 1/4 tsp. of salt
  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions for Slow Cooker Baked Spaghetti

  1. First of all, pour the jars of sauce into the slow cooker. In the large skillet set over the medium-high heat, brown the meat & onions together. After the meat is browned add garlic, cook for a minute or a longer. Now drain the fat. Add the salt, oregano & basil & stir. Pour the meat onto the sauce in the slow cooker & stir.
  2. After that, cover & cook on LOW for about 6 hours without opening the lid during cooking time.
  3. After the cooking time is over, cook the noodles as directions written on the package in boiling water on the stove-top. I cooked my noodles for exactly 7-8 minutes after adding them to boiling water. These noodles will cook a bit more after adding them to slow cooker.
  4. Now drain the noodles & add them to meat sauce in the slow cooker. Stir, and then flatten noodles in an even layer.
  5. After that, in a small bowl combine the cream cheese, ricotta and the salt. The cream cheese will be in the small chunks, but that is fine though.
  6. Now, dollop the cream cheese/ricotta mixture over spaghetti, then use the spatula to even it out over spaghetti. And then add the mozzarella cheese.
  7. Cover & cook for an extra 20-22 minutes on LOW.
  8. Serve, enjoy and have fun.
