Kim’s Lasagna - Crockpot Girl

Ingredients:

  • 9 lasagna noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until browned. Drain any excess fat and stir in the marinara sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. To assemble the lasagna in the crockpot, start by spreading a layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Place three uncooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking them if necessary to fit.
  4. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers: add another layer of meat sauce, followed by three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and another third of mozzarella. Finish with another layer of meat sauce, the remaining noodles, the rest of the mozzarella cheese, and any remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until the noodles are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Once cooked, let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This lasagna is perfect served with a side salad or garlic bread.
