Our friend over at A Thrifty Mom has this to say about this recipe:
“This is a rich and hearty fettuccine meatballs recipe!”
What I love about this recipe is its simplicity. There’s no need for anything complicated, even with the ingredients. It’s simple already because of the fact that it’s going to be cooked in a slow cooker. But it’s made simpler because the ingredients are not hard to find. Most of them you can even find in your pantry.
Ingredients
1/2 lb Tyson ground beef 97% lean
1/2 lb Johnsonville Italian sausage
1/2 tablespoon McCormick Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic minced
salt and pepper (pinch)
1/2 cup diced onion
1 16 oz box of dry fettuccine pasta
4 cups hot water
1 24oz jar of Hunt’s spaghetti sauce
Instructions
In a mixing bowl mix together ground beef, sausage, seasoning and garlic. Form into one inch balls, and place in the bottom of your crock pot. I like to form my balls with a small scoop makes them all the same size and quick and easy. Once you have all the balls on the bottom of the slow cooker, sprinkle diced onions on top. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. They will be cooked through at this point and hold their shape till the end of the cooking process. Next step is to add the pasta and sauce.
On top of the cooked meatballs add, 1 16 oz box of dry fettuccine pasta. Pour in 4 cups hot water, and 1 24oz jar of spaghetti sauce. Make sure all the noodles are under the liquid. Place lid back on top of crock pot and cook for 1 – 2 hours. It depends on how well you like your pasta done. The longer it cooks the less sauce there will be and the softer the noodles. Check it every half hour or so, give it a little stir and watch the magic of crock pot pasta happen. It is so good your family will be asking for seconds. Top with Italian cheese and enjoy.
