We had this today.
Easy Crockpot Lasagna
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1 large jar spaghetti sauce (we used Emeril’s)
1 package (8 ounces) no-boil lasagna noodles (I couldn’t
find the brand of no cook noodles I normally buy so used
Muellers, which I am not fond of using. They get too soft
for me)
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 lb. ricotta cheese
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan/Romano cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a little oil in a frying pan. Drain off any grease.
Add the spaghetti sauce into the browned meat mixture. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, milk, and egg. Beat until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Then mix in the mozzarella cheese and the grated cheese, so that all the cheeses are combined.
Spray crock pot with non-stick spray.
Put about 1/4 of the meat and sauce mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker/crock pot. Put a layer of noodles on top of that (break or cut them if needed). Put about 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top of that. Then repeat with sauce, noodles, cheese for another 2 layers. Top with meat sauce. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or until noodles are tender.
I used low fat cheeses. It was pretty tasty with a salad.
I need ground beef recipes as we bought a 1/4 steer and I have a good bit of ground beef.
That’s neat, never thought about lasagna in a crock pot!
Do the layers stay sort of separate while serving?
Wondering if this would be something better to bring to a potluck party than a regular lasagna (to keep it hot easier)
My cousin breaks her noodles up prior to placing in the crock pot. So, it winds up being more like a a casserole.
