Break noodles. Place half in bottom of greased slow cooker.
Brown ground beef in pan. (I add onions, green pepper, and several garlic cloves for more flavor.) Drain. Stir in Italian seasoning ( I also add some red pepper flakes for zing). Spread half over noodles in slow cooker.
Layer half of sauce and water, half mushrooms, half ricotta cheese and half mozzarella cheese over beef.
Repeat layers.
Cover. Cook on Low for 5 hours.
