- Break the dry spaghetti into thirds. This will help the pasta fit in your crockpot.
- Slow Cooker temperatures may vary depending on your make and model.

- Use ground chicken instead of ground beef. The slow cooker spaghetti will be equally as flavourful with ground chicken.
- Vary the herbs. Feel free to use other seasoning like Tuscan seasoning or Greek seasoning instead.
- Add heat. Chipotle, red chili flakes and jalapenos work if you like some heat.
- Add toppings at the end - serve with shredded cheese, guacamole, sour cream, diced tomato, lime, fresh-made pico de gallo, Mexican rice, quinoa, black beans, or corn.
