I confess, I love to cook, but I love my crockpot’s cooking even more! haha
I am always on the look out for delicious and easy recipes for the crockpot.
Recently, I found one online and got it as an inspiration and ran with it.
This is definitely a keeper! Everyone loved my simpler version, especially me (less to do and less to clean)! But the best part is that this recipe made enough for two meals (family of four)!
I LOVE leftovers! I’m all about practicality!
Ingredients:
– 1lb ground beef
– lasagna noodles
– 1 jar Müir Glen Organic tomato sauce (I used tomato and basil)
– 8oz mozarella, shredded or cubed
– 8oz cottage cheese
– 1 clove garlic, crushed
– pepper to taste
– salt to taste
– Italian seasoning to taste
1. Turn oven on to 450.
2. Put ground beef in oven-safe glass container in oven. I like the Pampered Chef round covered baker.
3. Leave it in for 30 minutes. Stir (I like the Pampered Chef’s mix ‘n chop). There shouldn’t be any pink or red spots.
OPTIONAL: brown beef on the stovetop, but it needs constant supervision.
4. Mix ground beef (cooked) with tomato sauce.
5. In a separate bowl, mix cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, crushed garlic and spices.
6. Turn crockpot on to high. Pour 1.4 cup water at the bottom.
7. Layer bottom of crockpot with broken-up lasagna noodles.
8. Follow by a layer of the cheese mixture.
9. Then al layer of tomato sauce.
10. Keep layering like that until both sauces are gone (about 3 layers).
11. Put lid on crockpot and leave on high for 3 or 4 hours.
12. Serve warm. Enjoy!
