Notes
For extra flavor, brown the ground beef in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance the dish. Adjust the amount of Italian seasoning based on your taste preference. If the pasta seems too thick after cooking, add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen it up. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
