Crockpot lasagna

Crockpot lasagna. Who knew?! I didn't. Until recently. It's awesome to just be able to throw some ingredients in it and walk away. Whoever said "Dinner isn't going to make itself" never had a crockpot.

 Just browning the hamburger and onion like I always do.

 Mix these ingredients.

 

Not the cutest picture, but it's bubbling away.

 

Voilà! And it's complete.

Crockpot lasagna

1lb ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 28oz canned pasta sauce

15 oz ricotta cheese

4 cups mozzarella

1/2 parmesan

handful of spinach

1 zucchini, diced

1 lg egg

1 box lasagna noodles uncooked

salt pepper to taste

parsley, for garnish

1. Brown meat and onion in frying pan. Mix in pasta sauce.

2. Spray pot with cooking spray (something I ALWAYS forget to do.)

3. In large mixing bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, spinach and zucchini.

4. To assemble (which I found a little tricky. I had to keep reminding myself which order to layer.)

Spread 1 1/2 meat sauce into slow cooker; top with layers of noodles, broken to fit. Spread ricotta mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan. Repeat layers and make sure the top layer is the mozz/parm.

5. Cook on high for 5-6 hours. (All crockpots are different, so this time may vary.)
