Ok... my first attempt at making spaghetti in a Crock Pot. I was limited as to what I had in my cupboards and was amazed at how well this turned out. I've realized that with a limited income one becomes more creative with their recipes. This one happened to be a winner! As a "secret" ingredient, I used 1 1/2 cups of lager (beer - I didn't tell my fiance until after he ate it, he hates beer!) The next day, I ate some leftovers and could taste a hint of the lager, it's really good!

If you're having one of those weeks and looking for an easy dinner recipe, add this to your recipe box. Tiffany is right... it's freakin' good. We loved all the veggies packed into the meal. They pair perfectly with one another. There's a bit of spice from the pepper, so scale that for your taste buds. It's so good everyone will be asking for seconds.
