Crockpot Lasagna is juicy, cheesy, beefy, and tastes just as good as a Classic Lasagna, but easier! There is no need to pre-cook noodles, you just add them raw and they cook up perfectly tender in the slow cooker. This is also a make-ahead lasagna that can be assembled a day ahead for convenient meals (hello Sunday lunch).

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • Lasagna noodles
  • 1 jar of spaghetti sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

  1. Brown ground beef and drain.

  3. Toss remaining sauce with beef.
  4. Place 2 uncooked lasagnas on top of the sauce in the slow cooker.
  5. Spread 1/3 of the meat mixture over the noodles.

  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese.
