:: Crock Pot Spaghetti ::
Welcome, Back to School! That being said, things are about to get crazy around here… time to pull out the crock pot and make a little plan ahead Crock Pot Spaghetti for dinner. Whew! With the kids in soccer, school, and therapy we have a busy Fall season. Meal planning is something Sara and I are really trying to add into our weekly schedules. It helps to run a smooth household, as well as, fewer trips to the grocery store. This Crock Pot Spaghetti Recipe is one that I created based on my favorites… pasta, chicken sausage, and turkey meat. These little gems from my neighbor’s backyard, inspired me to think of a sauce that, though canned {tomatoes}, can be full of flavor over a slow cooking process.
Simple canned favorites of tomato sauce, marinara, and paste with the combination of chicken sausage and ground turkey meat, creates a flavorful sauce. Slow cooking in the crock pot makes this meal a cinch to pull together. All you have to do is boil some water for pasta, and add a side salad! You’ll have a great weeknight meal! Yum!
