Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna

Tried this recipe last night for the first time. I would have added a little more meat, but other than that was wonderful, and we even have some leftovers for later! I also forgot to add remaining cheese on top...oh well!



Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna

1-2 lbs ground beef (or however much you like in your lasagna)
1-2 jars spaghetti sauce (depending on how much meat you use- your meat should be saucy)
1 large container of cottage cheese (or you can use ricotta cheese)
shredded mozzarella cheese
lasagna noodles (uncooked)


Brown the ground beef in a skillet.  Once the meat is done pour in the spaghetti sauce and stir together.
Ladle about a cup of the meat sauce into the bottom of the crock pot.
On top of the meat sauce put in a layer of lasagna noodles (you will have to break them to fit).
On top of the lasagna noodles cover with some of the cottage cheese.
On top of the cottage cheese cover with some of the mozzarella cheese.
Then start layers over (meat sauce, noodles, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese).
Do as many layers as you like (usually only 3 layers fits really) then finish off with left over sauce.  Make sure all the noodles are covered with sauce or else they won't cook.
Cook on low 4 to 6 hours. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese when it's finished and let it stand about 10 min before serving.
