Place sausage at the bottom of slow cooker. Cover sausage in spaghetti sauce. Cook on high for 5 hours. Cook noodles according to package. Serve sauce over cooked noodles.   I don't know that I really count this as a recipe, more of a meal idea. Either way, this is a regular in my house. I only do a grocery trip once a week, and sometimes plans change. I need meals with ingredients that won't go bad. The fact that the sausage can sit in the freezer, and the sauce and noodles in the cupboard till day of is why this meal is a favorite.   My regulars to use are: Johnsonville 4 Cheese Italian Sausages and Ragu Chunky Garden Combination Sauce. Serving with a garden salad, garlic toast, or both is always a good choice!

The first time I made it I only had half a bottle so I used ranch, the next time I used the whole bottle. This is my favorite of the two methods.
