Crock-pot Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1/2 lb. Italian sausage
  • 2 jars pasta sauce
  • 1 (24 oz) container of ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 TBSP Italian seasoning
  • 1 (16 oz.) box regular lasagna noodles, uncooked
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Brown beef and sausage in large skillet until no pink remains and then drain.
  • Season with salt & pepper.
  • Add spaghetti sauce and water.
  • In a mixing bowl combine ricotta cheese, 1-1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan and Romano cheeses, eggs and Italian seasoning.
  • Cover the bottom of a 6 qt. Crockpot with 1 1/2 cups or so of meat sauce mixture.
  • Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. (It’s okay to break them in half if it helps get the coverage you want)
  • Add a layer of the cheese mixture.
  • Repeat layers of meat > pasta > cheese until are gone ending with meat sauce over the noodles.
  • Cover with lid.
  • Cook on low 3 1/2 -4 1/2 hours or until liquid is absorbed.(3 hours 45 minutes was perfect with my Crockpot, but slow cooker times may vary)
  • Shut off Crockpot and top with remaining Mozzarella cheese and cover to melt-maybe 10 minutes.
  • Serve with a salad and/or garlic bread
