Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 24 ounces Marinara sauce
- 14.5 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Egg
- 12 Dried lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, Italian sausage, and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Drain any excess grease from the pan, then stir in the marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, and chopped parsley. Stir until well mixed.
Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce onto the bottom of the crock pot.
Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them if necessary to fit the shape of the crock pot. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce.
Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce) until all the ingredients are used, making sure to end with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top layer of meat sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the noodles are tender when pierced with a fork.
Turn off the crock pot and let the lasagne rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, then serve and enjoy!
