Pasta in a Pot

My husband and I tried a new slow cooker recipe tonight, and it was so successfully delicious, I thought I'd post it here. The original recipe can be found in Fix-It and Forget-It Recipes for Entertaining: Slow Cooker Favorites for All the Year Round by Phyllis Pellman Good and Dawn J. Ranck.

What You'll Need
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 medium sweet onions
1 garlic clove, minced
14-oz. jar spaghetti sauce
16-oz. can stewed tomatoes
4-oz. can sliced mushrooms (I left these out)
8 ozs. dry shell macaroni, cooked al dente
1 1/2 pints sour cream
1/2 pound shredded provolone cheese
1/2 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

What You'll Do
1. Brown beef in skillet. Drain.
2. Add onions, garlic, spaghetti sauce, stewed tomatoes, and undrained mushrooms. Mix well. Simmer 20 minutes, or until onions are soft.
3. Pour half of noodles into slow cooker. Cover with half of the tomato/meat sauce. Spread half the sour cream over sauce. Top with provolone cheese. Repeat, ending with mozzarella cheese.
4. Cover. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3 hours.

What You'll Get
about 8 servings of a satisfying, savory pasta dish
