Crock Pot Spaghetti
I LOVE Crock Pot Recipes! I am often referred to as the “Crock Pot” Queen because when people ask me what’s for dinner I often tell them it’s already cooking in the slow cooker at home. It’s such a home run for busy nights and lives. I took my favorite easy weeknight meal and made it crock pot friendly with these delicious Crock Pot Spaghetti that the entire family is sure to devour!
Does anyone else feel like death? I do. Please let me whine for a few seconds. My throat feels like it’s on fire. I cough and then cough, and cough, and cough until I feel like my lung might actually come out.
All thanks to the hubby who brought the sickness to me.
Ugh. Well at least the body aches are gone. Now for not feeling like a fire breathing dragon and sounding like a man. I’m sure from the sounds of it there are others who can commiserate.
Or if you are just really busy then this is for you too!
I love how creamy and yummy this spaghetti is. Plus, it makes a ton so invite those friends over or just feed your incredibly hungry family!

I definitely wasn’t wrong! Each recipe has it’s own unique twist so we can mix it up a little. I love that this one has Italian Sausage in it so it’s a little bit spicier.
The IP recipe has diced tomatoes in it that make it a hit!

October 2, 2014 at 5:31 pmwhat does the cream cheese do? Can I make it without and leave it on high for 3.5 hrs! Thanks!
Julie Evink says
October 3, 2014 at 9:52 amIt will thicken the sauce and make it more creamy. The cooking time should be the same still.

Will it effect if I don’t make with?
Julie Evink says
September 13, 2018 at 9:21 amIt makes it creamy so the texture would be different if you didn’t use it. I don’t think you can taste it but I like cream cheese so you might be more sensitive to it!
