Have I told you lately how much I LOVE my crock-pot! It's a love affair that started almost 31 years ago. (I got a crock-pot as a wedding gift in 1978!) It's so nice to "set it and forget it" and it really makes about anything good.
This recipe is one that I got from a friend and I "tweaked" it a little, but it is super easy and really good! Very little preparation goes into this one so you can put it together in no time.
I got up this morning and stuck this in the crock-pot before leaving for church. I love Sunday dinner already being ready when we get home! With some Tex@s To@st and a salad, you've got a complete meal, literally 10 minutes after you walk in the door.
I don't know about you, but that's my kind of cookin'!
1 pound ground beef
While ground beef is browning, combine egg and cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly.
Pour spaghetti sauce in a large mixing bowl.
Layer uncooked lasagna noodles on top of meat sauce. Overlap to cover as completely as possible. (Cut noodles however necessary to fit into your shape crock-pot. Depending on the size and shape crock-pot, it may take less noodles.)
Top with half of mozzarella cheese.
** Note: I cook mine on Low for 5-6 hours.
1 (48 ounce) spaghetti sauce
1-2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (optional)
1 (24 ounce) cottage cheese
1 egg
12-14 lasagna noodles, uncooked
3 cups mozzarella cheese
In medium skillet, brown ground beef. Drain well.
While ground beef is browning, combine egg and cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly.
Pour spaghetti sauce in a large mixing bowl.
Add drained ground beef to sauce. Add Italian Seasoning, if desired.
Pour half of meat mixture on bottom of crock-pot.
Layer uncooked lasagna noodles on top of meat sauce. Overlap to cover as completely as possible. (Cut noodles however necessary to fit into your shape crock-pot. Depending on the size and shape crock-pot, it may take less noodles.)
Next, spread 1/2 of cottage cheese mixture over uncooked noodles.
Top with half of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat all 4 of these layers, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
Cook on High for approximately 4 - 5 hours or on Low for 6 hours.
** Note: I cook mine on Low for 5-6 hours.
