Crockpot Lasagna

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I got this recipe from my Mom. I had never made it before our meeting. This is super easy and really yummy. I was impressed!

1 pound ground meat (turkey or hamburger) I used turkey
1 pound sausage—hot, Italian, turkey, pork-- I used pork
16 ounce ricotta cheese
2 pounds mozzarella cheese--I used 1 1/2 pounds
Parmesan cheese to taste--I used 1 cup
4 eggs
1 large pkg lasagna noodles—do not precook
32 ounce spaghetti sauce--homemade or store bought
2 TB parsley

1. Brown meat and drain. Add to sauce leaving enough plain sauce for top and bottom of lasagna. Mix cheeses, eggs and parsley, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
2. Spray crock pot with non-stick spray or use a liner.
3. Layer in crock pot as follows:
1. Sauce: pour enough plain sauce on bottom to cover completely.
2. Noodles: break to fit. Doesn't need to be perfect. No one will see it :)
3. Cheese mixture: try to spread evenly, but again, it doesn't have to be perfect.
4. Repeat 2-3 more times. Completely cover with plain sauce--about 1 1/2 cups. To with remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Cook on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 2-3 hours. Let set for 15-30 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note: Never cook longer than 4 hours. The noodles will be too mushy.
