This was actually the first time I have ever made lasagna and it will now become a staple of our diets! So easy, so delicious, and so many ways to mix it up!
Crockpot Lasagna:
(recipe modified from itsalwaysautumn)
(check the link for nice progression pictures)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 to 1 pound of ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken)
- ~36 ounces of spaghetti sauce
- 16 ounces cottage cheese
- 2-4 tablespoons of cream cheese (can be omitted, just makes it cheesier and creamier)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 egg
- Italian seasoning/Spaghetti seasoning
- Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- 8 ounces shredded cheese
- Brown the meat and then mix with spaghetti sauce.
- Mix together (in separate bowl) the cottage cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning.
- Spray crockpot with nonstick spray and pour ~1/3 of meat sauce in the bottom of crockpot.
- Break ~3 lasagna noodles to fit and lay on top of the meat sauce.
- Spread ~1/2 of shredded cheese over noodles.
- Then sprinkle about half of the cheese mixture on top.
- Repeat -> more meat sauce, noodles, and the rest of the cheese mixture.
- Top with breaking and laying more noodles on top.
- Pour remaining sauce over last layer of noodles.
- Cover crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours until noodles are tender.
- About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top to melt into the lasagna.
- No need to boil the noodles beforehand; just use the regular lasagna noodles and it will come out like a charm!
- Sometimes I add in ricotta cheese, no Parmesan, whatever combo. you like!
- So delicious! Enjoy!
