Today is a guest post from regular contributor, Karen of Raising Little Super Heroes.  Also, I wanted to give you a quick reminder… don’t forget that you can still get all of the Sidetracked Sarah Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks for free with the purchase of the 2015 Ultimate Homemaking Bundle.

 

Healthy Crock Pot Spaghetti is a delicious and nutritious dinner that the whole family will love. I love simple dinner recipes that are so easy-to-make, too. Just brown the ground turkey, add all of the ingredients to the crock pot, and let it simmer for a few hours. It is the perfect meal for those busy nights at soccer practice or when you just don’t feel like cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. of Ground Turkey
  • 1 13.25 oz. box of Whole Wheat Spaghetti Noodles You can use any type of Whole Wheat noodle.
  • 2 25. oz. jars of Organic Spaghetti Sauce
  • 1/4 cup of Chopped Onion
  • 1/4 cup of Chopped Green Pepper
  • 1/4 cup of Mozzarella Cheese optional

Instructions

  • 1. Spray a frying pan with olive oil cooking spray and brown the ground turkey on the stove.
  • * If you don't want to use the stove, you can also brown the ground turkey in the crock pot. Spray the crock pot with the olive oil cooking spray and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Break the ground turkey apart and stir as it cooks. When it is done, be sure to drain all of the grease before moving onto the next step. I prefer to brown the ground turkey in the frying pan because it is difficult to drain all of the grease from the crock pot.
  • 2. Break the uncooked spaghetti noodles in half and put them in the crock pot.
  • 3. Add the organic spaghetti sauce, browned ground turkey, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper. Make sure that all of the noodles are covered by the spaghetti sauce.
  • 4. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
  • 5. Add the Mozzarella cheese and stir. (This is optional but doesn't cheese make everything taste a little better?)

Supplies:

  • Crock Pot
  • Frying Pan
  • Olive Oil Cooking Spray
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Measuring Cup (1/4 cup)
  • Serve Healthy Crock Pot Spaghetti with a side salad or fruit plate for a complete fresh and appetizing meal.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
