Crockpot Lasagna

Crockpot Lasagna

This is a delicious spin on lasagna. Simply throw it in the crockpot and forget it!

Ingredients

• One box lasagna noodles
• 1 pound lean ground beef, browned and drained
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
• 1 1/2 cups spinach, optional
• 1 jar (28 oz) spaghetti sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 carton (8 oz) low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 carton (8 oz) ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

Directions:

1. Brown and drain hamburger. Add seasonings to hamburger.
2. Mix cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and egg.
3. Break noodles in halves.
4. Layer in this order: Noodles, Cheese/Egg Mixture, Meat, Spinach (if desired), Sauce, Water, and Mozzarella.
5. Repeat the process until you run out of ingredients.
6. Sprinkle additional Italian seasoning and garlic powder on top, if desired.
7. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Notes:

I chose to sauté the spinach and mix it in with the hamburger instead of layering it by itself. I also mixed the water into the sauce instead of doing it separately. When I cook this for the teens at church, I omit the spinach.

Serve With:

Green Beans, Garlic Bread, Salad
