Slow Cooker Lasagna





This may not look all that appetizing, but it's very tasty. It tastes just like baked lasagna. I can put this together during Claire's nap and I don't have to worry about it again until it's time to eat. Makes about 4 to 6 servings depending how hungry you are.

1/2 to 1 lb of Ground Beef or Turkey

1/4 cup of diced onions

1/4 cup of diced green peppers

12 oz. of Ricotta or cottage cheese

1 egg

1 and 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese (more or less, depending how cheesy you are :)

28 oz jar of prepared spaghetti sauce

1/2 to 1 cup water

9 uncooked lasagna noodles broken up in pieces to fit

1. Brown beef or Turkey and cook with onion and green pepper in a skillet

2. Add sauce and water.

3. Mix egg and ricotta/cottage with one cup of mozzarella in separate bowl

3. Spread 1/4th of meat sauce on bottom of greased crock pot

4. Break 1/3 of noodles to cover meat sauce

5. Cover meat sauce with 1/3 cheese mixture

6. Continue to layer and end with rest of meat sauce on top.

7. Cover and cook on low for about 3-4 hours. During last 1/2 hour cover with remaining mozzarella cheese.
