Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef (or ground turkey/ or chicken)
29 oz can tomato sauce
8 oz pkg. lasagna noodles, uncooked
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
Directions
1. Brown the ground beef in a pan with a little oil.
2. Add chopped onion and garlic to the ground beef
3. Stir the tomato sauce in with the ground beef
4. Spread 1/4 of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crock-pot
5. Arrange 1/3 of the uncooked noodles over the sauce (I usually break them up so they fit better)
6. Combine the cheeses in a bowl. Spoon 1/3 of the cheeses over the noodles.
7. Repeat these layers twice
8. Top with remaining sauce
9.
Cover and cook on low for 4hrs (I've started the crock-pot on high in
the morning before I leave for work and then put it on warm when I leave
and it's perfect when I get home)
10. Let the lasagna stand in the crock-pot with the lid off for at least 10 minutes
* Variations *
1. Use Italian sausage in place of ground beef or with ground beef
2. Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the cheese mixture. Replace cottage cheese with Ricotta.
3. Add 1/2 cup additional shredded mozzarella cheese to the top of lasagna 5 minutes before serving
