Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 28 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 6 oz Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
- 15 oz Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 10 sheets Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove excess grease if needed.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg until well combined.
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
Spoon a small amount of the meat sauce onto the bottom of the crock pot to create a thin, even layer.
Break the uncooked lasagna noodles into pieces as needed to fit a single layer over the sauce.
Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of the meat sauce.
Repeat the layering process (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce) until all ingredients are used or the crock pot is full, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the noodles are tender.
Turn off the heat and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Crock Pot Sausage Lasagna!
