Discover Dinner Possibilities
I love my slow cooker; so much so I've had to retire a few in my time. I tried this crockpot lasagna and I was overly skeptical. Yet once again, I overcame my fear, and tried it! I was amazed! The noodles were soft, the flavor was excitingand boy was it cheesy! Such a simple time saving recipe.Adapted from Creating Through Life.
Ingredients
Uncooked lasagna pasta, 8 oz package
Your favorite pasta sauce, 26 oz
One lb of ground beef
One container of cottage cheese (about 1 and 1/2 cups)
One 8 oz bag of shredded mozzarella
Two cloves of garlic finely diced
To Make
You will want you brown your ground beef before hand.
Turn your slow cooker on warm, spray with a nonstick spray, or for an even faster clean up use one of those slow cooker liners.
Mix your ground beef and garlic with your sauce and water.
Now you can start layering your creation.
The sauce mixture will be your first layer; second will be your lasagna noodles (break them to fit).
Now you will create a cheese combination: take 4 oz of the shredded mozzarella and fold in the cottage cheese, creating your third layer.
While you layer, spread evenly and continue until your lasagna noodles are your top layer.
If you have any sauce mixture left, pour it around the sides.
Keep on warm for up to 8 hours; you can dive in at about 4 hours of cooking.
About a half an hour before serving, pile the reserve cheese on top, cover and let it get all bubbly and melty. Yum!
