Creamy Crockpot Spaghetti
There are two kinds of pasta sauce we all know and love. First, there’s the classic red sauce, full of tangy tomato and zesty Italian seasoning. And then there’s rich, creamy Alfredo sauce, loaded with butter and parmesan cheese. Both of these are so good, it’s sometimes hard to choose between them. But what if you didn’t have to?
My Creamy Crockpot Spaghetti has both your favorite sauces in one. It starts with a good marinara sauce out of a jar – but then gives it a rich and creamy texture by adding cream cheese and plenty of parmesan. As if all this weren’t fabulous enough, the dish also adds even more flavor with browned ground beef, beef broth, and shredded mozzarella.
OK, you may be thinking, that’s a lot of flavor, but is it a lot of work? Nope! Just brown the beef and toss it in the crock, along with the spaghetti and the the sauce ingredients, and let the Crockpot do the rest. It will simmer away for hours, giving all the flavors time to blend into one complete, delicious, satisfying whole.
Creamy Crockpot Spaghetti. It’s everything you want in an Italian meal, all in one pot.

Can this be adapted for a low setting on my crock? I’m getting ready to try this today 🙂
Was this ever answered or did you try this? If so what temp and how long did you do?
Would the cooking time be the same without any meat? Thanks so much.
What setting of the crockpot when you first start it high or medium? After 3 hrs you did say low.
Thank you.
Hi Tina. In step five it directs you to cook on high for 3 hours. I hope that helps
