CROCK POT LASAGNA (+VIDEO)

Steps:

• Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet (or if your crock pot has a saute setting, use that.)
• Then add in onion and garlic and cook for additional 1-2 minutes.
• Drain excess grease from beef and put back into skillet. Pour in spaghetti sauce and water. Give it all a good stir.
• In a separate bowl, mix together cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 2 tbsp. parmesan cheese, egg, pepper and chopped parsley. (Put your remaining cheeses back in the fridge, you'll be using those as a topping later)
• Spray crock pot with no-stick cooking spray. Scoop approximately 1 cup of meat sauce into bottom of slow cooker.
• Top with one layer of uncooked lasagna noodles. Just do your best to break them up to fit into your crock pot.
• Next top with a layer of cheese mixture.
• Keep adding layers, ending with meat sauce. I was able to get 3 layers in my 5-quart slow cooker.
• Put the lid on and cook on low for 4-6 hours. You want most of the liquid to be absorbed and noodles should be soft.
• When it is finished cooking, add remaining cheeses and sprinkle with parsley.
• Put the lid back on for about 10-15 more minutes until cheese is melted.
