Ingredients
Scale
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef or sausage
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the meat: In a skillet, cook the ground beef or sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat to keep your lasagna from becoming greasy.
- Mix the ricotta: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, the egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Start with sauce: Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Layer the noodles: Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, fitting them without breaking.
- Add the good stuff: Add half of the ricotta mixture, followed by half of the ground meat, and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers: Repeat with remaining noodles, ricotta mixture, ground meat, and mozzarella cheese.
- Final touches: Finish with marinara sauce and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Slow cook to perfection: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
