Slow Cooker Zoodles with Meat Sauce Ingredients

– Ground beef: I like to use 80% ground meat. Ground chuck is just fine.

– Zucchini: You can buy the zucchinis and make them into noodles with a spiralizer , or simply use pre-made zucchini noodles that you can purchase at your local supermarket.

– Onion: You can use white or yellow onion, but for this recipe I like to use a sweet onion like Vidalia or any other type of onions with sweeter flesh.

– Garlic: I prefer to mince my own garlic as opposed to using jarred minced garlic because I think it has a better flavor. You can also use garlic powder.

– Crushed tomato: I use a medium can of crushed tomatoes in this recipe.

– Italian seasoning: I just use a basic Italian seasoning mix that I bought at the grocery store.

– Salt & Pepper: You can add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
