Very good & easy recipe! I followed the directions just as written, but doubled the recipe...which filled my ENTIRE crockpot! I used organic garden veggie sauce & organic beef which I find much more flavorful than their non-organic counterparts. I also used whole grain pasta which tends to take longer to cook and holds up better in the crock from my experience.
