CROCKPOT LASAGNA

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
