Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Skillet
  • Medium Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 24-ounce jar marinara or pasta sauce
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles regular, not no-boil
  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with diced onion until browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in minced garlic, marinara sauce, tomato sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese with grated Parmesan. Set aside.
  • Spray the crockpot insert with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Place a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them to fit if needed.
  • Dollop and gently spread about ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with ½ cup mozzarella.
  • Repeat layers (meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella) two more times, ending with a final layer of noodles, sauce, and mozzarella on top.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until noodles are tender and lasagna is bubbling.
