Creamy, simple Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti makes weeknight cooking a breeze. Delicious, filling and definitely warming on those cold nights.
Years ago, I needed quick and easy weeknight dinners to feed my family of seven while participating in National Novel Writing Month.
Doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) meant that I was taking on the crazy and somewhat daring challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel during the month of November.
What that actually translated into, was that I need a lot of quick and easy dinners the entire month.
This creamy, delicious Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti was a weekly occurrence.
My family loved it, and I loved that it was easy and required little of me.
Since then, we continue to make this, sometimes even in summer when we don’t want to heat up the kitchen.
I also often whip up two batches (yes we have four crockpots so this isn’t hard). It’s the way it goes with a big family.
Typically, I freeze one, so that I can simply thaw, heat and serve at another night when we have little time.
You can do this by doubling the recipe or even do a triple batch to put away a couple of casseroles for later.
There’s nothing better than easy recipes.
Crockpot recipes tend to be some of the easiest recipes to make in my book.
I love being able to just throw ingredients in the pot in the morning, turn it on and go.
At the end of the day I have a delicious meal, all ready to dish up and enjoy!

I love an easy weeknight meal. What’s your favorite crockpot meal to make?
Looking forward to trying your recipes.
It’s so cool that you are participating in NaNoWriMo – my husband has been tempted several times, but Nov. is just such a crazy month for us. We’ve often thought it would be cool to gather a few writers doing NaNoWriMo in our beach rental house so they could offer support to each other. We’re not talking the whole month necessarily, but maybe a week or two. Maybe have a professional editor or writing coach available as well.
I’d so be there if you guys ever did that.
Your husband should totally do NaNoWriMo – it’s a whirlwind of madness but the end result is usually worth it.
You ever host anything at your beach rental house and I’d love an invite. Especially food or writing related. lol
Thanks for the recipe. Will try this one for dinner tonight 🙂
Great Patricia! Let me know what you think. It’s a great, nice, slow cooked meal. Yum!
Totally making this later on this week!! Can’t wait!
