The magical slow cooker
01 2 lbs ground beef
02 1/2 cup diced white onion
03 48 oz pasta sauce
04 1 minced garlic clove
05 1/4 tsp salt
06 1/4 black pepper
01 1 tsp. dried oregano
02 1 tsp. dried basil
03 1 lb spagetti noodles
04 4 oz cream cheese
05 1 cup ricotta cheese
06 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Cook the ground beef in a skillet on the stovetop, with the seasonings and onion, add the garlic at the end. Drain the grease and add to crockpot with the sauce.
Stir the mixture and cook on LOW for 6 hours. WAIT TO ADD THE NOODLES AND CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE.
Stir the noodles into the sauce and slightly press the noodles into an even layer (like you would for a casserole).
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, and salt. Add this mixture on top of the noodles and sauce in dollops.
Sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese. Place the lid back on the slow cooker and cook for an additional 20 minutes on LOW.
Turn the slow cooker off so the dish doesn’t overcook. Serve and enjoy!
