Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 24 oz Spaghetti sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 15 oz Ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 10 sheets Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- 1 to coat slow cooker Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the spaghetti sauce and water into the cooked beef. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix well until evenly combined.
Spread 1 cup of meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared slow cooker.
Break lasagna noodles into pieces to fit into the slow cooker in a single layer over the sauce.
Top the noodles with one-third of the ricotta cheese mixture, then one-third of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce) two more times, ending with the meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the noodles are tender and the lasagna is heated through.
Turn off the heat, let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes, and then cut into slices to serve.
