Crock Pot Lasagna

[suckolux]

Tried this just for giggles yesterday, did not want to heat up the house. Was pretty darn good with some adjustments for seasoning. Found on Facebook.

1 pound Ground Beef
Lasagna noodles
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Brown ground beef and drain. Spoon 1 C. spaghetti sauce in bottom of 4 quart crock pot. Mix remaining sauce with beef. Place 2 uncooked lasagna noodles on sauce in crock pot. Spread 1/3 meat mixture on top of noodles. Spread 3/4 C. cottage cheese over meat. Sprinkle 1/2 C. mozzarella cheese over cottage cheese. Add another layer of uncooked noodles, 1/3 meat mixture, the remaining cottage cheese and 1/2 C. mozzarella cheese. Place another layer of uncooked noodles, meat mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Cook on low for 4 hours. I did season the meat and added Italian seasoning to every layer of the Cottage Cheese and did put the Parm on every layer.

That sounds delicious! The only thing I would do differently is to actually make the spaghetti sauce.

Yes, though unless you have that already prepared it would take out the easy part. I have had good luck with Target's own Market Pantry Tomato Basil Garlic at $1. I use 1.5 bottles so I can use the whole package of pasta
