I know I cook for a living, but some days I don't feel like making dinner. I think it is a reality for most of us no matter what you do for a living. In my single days I would have had a bowl of cereal and a yogurt for dinner. When I first met my husband he thought I had lost my mind. He doesn't think it's dinner if it doesn't have meat as an ingredient.
This recipe is perfect to throw together quickly and let it slow cook all afternoon. Often I put this together during my lunch break and then dinner is waiting for us.
How do I make gluten free slow cooker spaghetti?
Good gluten free spaghetti noodles are key! I really like the Jovial Brown Rice Spaghetti Noodles. I think they taste the most like what I remember regular spaghetti tasting like. They hold together really well also.
These noodles are perfect if you can't have corn products too. I love that they are simply brown rice and water.
I layer the meat, onion, garlic and sauce mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker. Then I break up the spaghetti noodles into thirds and spread them into a layer. You don't want to leave them clumped together or they will stick together. Then I add the rest of the sauce and meat mixture. Finally, I top everything with a layer of cheddar cheese.

Does gluten free pasta have eggs?
The Jovial Brown Rice Spaghetti Noodles does not have eggs in the ingredients. I've also used the Trader Joe's brand, the Great Value Walmart brand and the Barilla gluten free pastas. None of these have eggs.
It is always key to read the ingredients each time you purchase pasta. I've been disappointed before to get home and realize they've changed the ingredients on some of my favorite gluten free products.
