Crockpot Million Dollar Pasta

If there is one thing I could eat over and over and never get tired of – it’s pasta. My son and I love it (especially this Crockpot Million Dollar Pasta recipe I am sharing today!) My husband – not so much. He’s weird. Who doesn’t like pasta? So what happens is I end up making a big batch (because hey – the other people in the house still like it!) and we end up having a lot leftover.


For me, pasta is the perfect leftover food. So I don’t mind if I have lots leftover. I can divide all the leftovers in smaller GladWare® containers so they are easy to grab in the morning for a work lunch later. This recipe is made all in one pot (yay for less dirty dishes!) but it also takes your traditional pasta and sauce meal to something just a bit more special. You do not have to boil the pasta noodles first – woo hoo! A yummy, creamy, flavorful sauce with tender pasta all topped with a gooey, melty cheese. Worth it’s weight in gold πŸ˜‰

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 2 (24 oz.) jars spaghetti sauce, divided use
  • 1 (spaghetti) jar water, divided use
  • 1 (16 oz.) box cavatappi, cellentini or macaroni pasta
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
