Slow Cooker Sicilian Spaghetti
Howdy! Sicilian Meat Sauce is our has become our favorite GO TO spaghetti sauce over this past year. We have it a few times a month. It is CRAZY delicious! I wanted to try and see how it would turn out in the crock pot and I AM SO GLAD I DID because it was INCREDIBLE and easy and PERFECT for a busy evening! ALL I had to do when we got home was boil noodles and bake up some frozen garlic bread and dinner was DONE.
