Hearty Italian Spaghetti Dinner

This is a wonderful crockpot recipe. Shared, of course, by Cortney. She has told me it is the perfect Fast Sunday meal. I think it is wonderful anytime!!



Hearty Italian Spaghetti Dinner
12 ounces pork loin, lean, boneless -- trimmed of fat, cut into 1 x 1/4" strips
*Cortney’s note- I use pork sausage and it makes this sauce delicious!
1 cup onion -- finely chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes -- cut up (optional- I never put them in)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic – minced (1/2 tsp garlic powder)
28 ounces crushed tomatoes -- with puree, undrained (1 can)
8 ounces tomato sauce -- (1 can)
12 ounces spaghetti -- uncooked

In 3-1/2 or 4 quart Crock-Pot Slow Cooker, combine all ingredients except spaghetti; mix well. Cover; cook on low setting for at least 7 hours or until pork is no longer pink and onions are tender.

Cook spaghetti as directed on package. Drain. Serve sauce over spaghetti.

The pork loin can be substituted for any meat of your choice. We’ve used pork sausage which is soooo good! We’ve also used really thin steak meat- yum!
