I found this recipe in a Rival cookbook at my Aunt Annette's house. I get so excited about good crock-pot recipes. They come in so handy on busy days and especially on Sundays, when we come home from church starving and ready to eat. This was filling and flavorful and the kids loved it! Three stars in our house.

| 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce 1 can stewed tomatoes 1 tsp. oregano 1 tsp. Italian seasoning salt/pepper 10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed (I used fresh spinach) 16 oz. bowtie pasta, cooked 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded 1 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded *Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Put in crock-pot and add sauce, tomatoes and seasonings. Cook for 6-7 hours on low. Add the last 4 ingredients during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn crock-pot to high. I added the fresh spinach, pasta, parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and I mixed it all up really well. Then I added the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella to melt on the top. |

Hello!!
I love your site! I hope you don't mind but I gave you a shout out on my teacher blog. I cut and pasted this recipe and raved about your site. If you don't want me to do this in the future just let me know. Thanks for all the yummy ideas!
I'm making this tomorrow.

How many servings does this make?
We have six people in our family and we had leftovers, so I would say 8 servings.
I found your recipe on Pinterest. We are in the midst of a kitchen renovation so new crock-pot recipes are a must. This was easy and excellent. Thanks so much!!
What size can of stewed tomatoes??
I used a 15 oz. can of stewed tomatoes. Sorry I should put that on there!
Have you tried to put the ground beef in the crock-pot raw and turn in on high instead of cooking the meat first?
Made this tonight!! Really good! Just bake some Texas toast and you have a great meal!!
Can you just use good ol Ragu? Or any other pasta sauce rather than tomato sauce and all the seasonings?
