Crock Pot Lasagna

I am all about food that is quick, easy and taste amazing! A couple of years ago I got a crock pot for Christmas and told myself I was going to use it as much as possible. I thought with the crazy life I was living, it would be necessary for me to cook food ahead of time so it was ready to go by the time I got home. WELL... I also found that calling ahead, ordering food online or swinging through the drive through was just as easy! :) WHOOPS!

Well to my surprise, this recipe took no time to prepare and the cooking time didn't seem long either because I was running errands while it was cooking. The recipe is also a heck of a lot easier than I remember. Making lasagna with my mom always seemed so time consuming! I would say it took about 20-25 mins to prep and 4 hours to bake.

Ingredients:

1lb. of ground beef

Finely chopped onion/Mined Onion

Finely chopped garlic/Minced garlic

29 oz can of tomato sauce

8 oz package of lasagna noodles (uncooked)

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese

Step One:

Brown ground beef and season with onion. While ground beef is cooking, mix together both cheeses in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step Two: 

Once ground beef has fully cooked, add tomato sauce and garlic. Mix together and set aside.

Step Three:

Spray crock pot with cooking spray before starting the layering process. Line the bottom of the pot with an even layer of sauce. Next, line with noodles and top with cheese. Repeat process for 3-4 more layers, making sure to end with sauce on the top.

Step Four:
Cover with lid and let cook on low for 4 hours. When finished, the sides with be a little crusty and the top with be golden brown! Serve and ENJOY!
