Tips for Success
Drain the meat after browning. If you’d like a thicker sauce, simply continue to cook in the crockpot with the lid off until it is thickened, or simmer it in a saucepan until it thickens, stirring often. Cook spaghetti in salted water until it is al dente (a little firm). Do not rinse the pasta, this helps the sauce adhere to it. Freeze sauce on its own without pasta and add fresh pasta when serving.
From frozen, slow cooker spaghetti sauce should last about a month in the freezer. Simply thaw and reheat in a bowl in the microwave. Serve this slow cooker spaghetti sauce with meatballs or with just some noodles, this recipe is amazing for any occasion! Perfect for a party, a potluck, or a special family celebration!
