freakin' good crock pot spaghetti
Ok - this was 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 (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!
