Crockpot Beef and Cheese

by Debbi DeSisto

An everyday meal that's easy, filling and tasty.

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (15 oz) can chunky spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon oregano
6 oz mozzarella cheese
8 oz macaroni, cooked and drained

Brown ground beef with onion in a skillet until ground beef is lightly browned. Place into your slow cooker. Add spaghetti sauce, water, garlic salt, ketchup, and oregano. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Add macaroni and mozzarella. Cover and cook for an additional 2 hours on low.

Note: If you are in a hurry: toss all ingredients except macaroni and mozzarella into your slow cooker without precooking ground beef and onion. Then 1/2 hour before serving add ground beef and mozzarella.
