1 to 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
medium V-8
1 tbsp. brown sugar
8 oz. dry spaghetti noodles, broken into 4-inch lengths

Brown the ground beef. Add the remaining ingredients, except spaghetti, and cook in crock-pot on high 3 to 4 hours or low all day. The last hour of cooking, add the noodles. Stir only a couple of times during the last hour (overstirring makes it mushy).
