One Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe

Ever wish for a spaghetti and meatballs dinner on a busy weeknight but didn’t want to go through all the hassle of making and frying up the meatballs, boiling water and then cooking the pasta, heating up oil and spices and then adding tomato sauce for a homemade pasta sauce? Me too!

Sounds like way too much work for a busy weeknight after a long day at work and dealing with kids, homework and busy after school schedules. Enter in my one pot supper recipe! 

Bowl of spaghetti and meatballs

Dinner is easy when everything cooks together quickly in just one pot. These are my favorite type of recipes and they have been since my four boys were little. Back then life was crazy busy and everyone was crazy hungry. Sound familiar?Step by step homemade meatballs

But I’m not one for jarred pasta sauces that usually have lots of sugar in them. Or for frozen meatballs, when it’s so easy to make your own homemade meatballs.

So here you go, here’s a recipe with spaghetti sauce that’s from scratch for a quick and easy spaghetti and meatballs recipe that you’re going to want to make over and over again on those oh-so-crazy busy evenings.

Skillet dinner to the rescue. You’re welcome!Spaghetti and meatballs in skillet

Ingredients you will need to make this recipe

  • ground beef
  • egg
  • seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan cheese
  • dried basil
  • garlic powder
  • kosher salt
  • crushed tomatoes
  • diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano
  • water
  • spaghetti

Oh and I must tell you that I had the best sous chef helping me with this recipe! My sweet granddaughter Brenda was my assistant in the kitchen making this recipe and also was “on set” painting on sauce when the meatballs got dry during our photo shoot. She actually thought it was quite funny that I asked her to “paint” on the tomato sauce! But she did an excellent job, don’t you agree?

But her favorite part of being my assistant was taste testing the recipe! She approved….after her third bowlful! I’d say this recipe is a success!
