Spaghetti - Express Cook

Spaghetti - Crock Pot Express Cooker

1 lb ground beef
1/2 Tbsp Wildtree Hearty Spaghetti Blend (or 1/2 tsp each salt, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning)
1 24-oz jar Prego spaghetti sauce
1 14-oz can Great Value petite diced tomatoes, no salt added (do not drain)
36 oz water
1 lb spaghetti (do not use thin or angel hair)

Use Saute option and brown ground beef mixed with seasonings until no longer pink.  Turn off and drain meat.



Return meat to pot.  Break noodles in half and layer over the meat, criss-crossing as you layer.


Pour spaghetti sauce, tomatoes and water over the noodles.  Push noodles down so they are completely covered with the sauce.


Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.  Use quick release and once steam has all vented, open pot and stir well.  Some noodles might stick a little but should break apart with stirring.


Delicious!  I served it with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top along with a small salad and some freezer garlic bread.
