Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 24 oz Marinara sauce
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and the egg. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crock pot. Add a layer of cooked egg noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture. Repeat these layers (meat sauce, noodles, cheese mixture) until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the top layer of meat sauce.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes to set before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crock Pot Egg Noodle Lasagna!
