Crock Pot Lasagna

Tonight for supper I made crock pot lasagna.  I think it was a year or two ago that I discovered that lasagna could be made in the crock pot; ever since then this is the way I have made it. It is so easy and I think just as good as the traditional way but without all the hassle.  Let me tell you how you too can make this easy lasagna.





Crock Pot Lasagna

Original recipe can be found here



1 lb lean ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 tsp dried oregano

12 ounces cottage cheese (I use 1%)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or asiago cheese

12 ounces lasagna noodles, uncooked

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese



Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in pan. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and oregano. Cook long enough to get it warm (You can also just use jarred sauce, which is what I did tonight). Spoon a layer of meat sauce onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (break to fit) and top with cheeses. Repeat with sauce, noodles and cheeses until all are used up. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.



*Serve with salad and garlic cheese rolls*
