If you’ve been looking for a new slow cooker meal, here is a very simple & easy recipe to just throw in the slow cooker. I love meals like this because they are so hearty & filling and you can get it all ready to go the night before to just put together in the crock-pot in the morning and have a healthy, hearty meal by the time you’re ready for dinner.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef 97% lean
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Salt and pepper (pinch)

In a mixing bowl mix together ground beef, seasoning and garlic. Form into one inch balls, and place in the bottom of your crock pot. Sprinkle diced onions on top. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. Next step is to add the pasta and sauce.
On top of the cooked meatballs add, 1 16 oz box of dry fettuccine pasta. Then add 4 cups hot water and 1 24oz jar of spaghetti sauce. Place lid back on top of crock pot and cook for 1 1/2 – 2 hours.

It is so good your family will be asking for seconds. Top with Italian cheese and enjoy.
