Slow Cooker Lasagna II

All the flavors of classic lasagna—meat, sauce, noodles, and cheese—slow-cooked to melty, comforting perfection. No oven required.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 1/2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the lasagna noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is slightly tender but not cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned; drain, then stir in sauce. Set aside. Combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with a layer of noodles. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the cheese mixture over the noodles, then ladle about 1/4 of the remaining sauce over the cheese. Repeat layering, ending with a layer of sauce and topping with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese. Cook on High setting for 2 to 3 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
