Slow Cooker Lasagna<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1 pound lean ground beef
\n1 sweet onion, chopped
\n4 teaspoons minced garlic
\n1 jar pasta sauce
\n1 tomato paste (6 oz)
\n1-1\/2 teaspoons salt (optional)
\n1 teaspoon dried oregano
\n1 tablespoon dried oregano
\n1 teaspoon dried basil
\n1 tablespoon dried basil
\n2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
\n1 (12 ounce) package lasagna noodles (any brand or type)
\n12 ounces cottage cheese or ricotta cheese (I use cottage cheese because I can’t do ricotta)
\n1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (use fresh if you have it available)
\n16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nIn a large skillet over medium\/high heat cook the ground beef, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon dried basil until brown. Drain fat from meat.<\/p>\n

Add the pasta sauce, tomato paste, salt, basil,oregano and Italian seasoning. Stir until well incorporated. Cook until heated through.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl mix together the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n

Spoon a layer of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker.
\nAdd a double layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Break to fit noodles into slow cooker.
\nTop noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all the ingredients are used.
\nCover, and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours.<\/p>\n

Note: If the beef mixture looks a little on the dry side you may need to add a little water to help with the lasagna noodles. It really depends on the brand of pasta sauce used. I don\u2019t use tomato paste out of a can because it seems, to me anyway, to taste like the can. I use tomato paste in a tube and measure it out.<\/p>\n
