MmMmM -- Crock Pot Lasagna




So I love my crockpot. I think its the best invention in the world. I can throw dinner in there in the morning and when the littles leave for the day we can have dinner. Well today I decided to try out a new recipe for crock pot lasagna. ( Pic doesn't do it justice)


Here is the actual recipe: 


1lb ground beef
1 small onion (chopped)
1 garlic clove
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
6 lasagna noodles (no cook ones)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese


Brown meat, onion and garlic together
Stir in next five (in bold) ingredients and let simmer for 5 mins
In a small bowl mix ricotta and 1 c of moz cheese
Put 1/3 of meat mix into crock pot, then noodles, and ricotta cheese mix and repeat until all is in the crock pot
Cover and cook for 4-6 hours


I did it a little different. I used onion powder b/c Mike doesn't like onions and instead of garlic cloves, oregano and dried basil I used garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Defiantly a keeper in the recipe book!
