Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup bread crumbs or oatmeal
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 23 oz jar Ragu Homestyle Sauce
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 10 oz cans Rotel original tomatoes
- 2 15.5 oz cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 8 oz uncooked thin spaghetti noodles can use less if you like a thinner soup
Instructions
- In medium bowl, mix together ground beef, bread crumbs or oatmeal, Parmesan cheese, egg and salt. Form into meatballs, being careful not to overwork the meat mixture. Brown meatballs in a frying pan over medium heat. Set aside.
- Add remainder of ingredients (except for pasta) to slow cooker; stir together. Gently spoon in meatballs.
- Cook on low 7-8 hours or on high for about 3 hours.
- Stir in uncooked spaghetti (break into sections if desired). Let cook until pasta is tender (about 20 minutes).
Notes
I like my soup really thick (like a chili), so I add 8 ounces of pasta, but if you want it to be thinner and soupier, use just 4 ounces of pasta.
