#### How to Make Crockpot Lasagna

1. **Brown the meat:** In a skillet, cook the ground beef (or sausage) with diced onion and garlic until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. **Mix the cheeses:** In a bowl, combine ricotta (or cottage cheese) with some Parmesan, a bit of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. **Start layering:** In your greased crockpot, spread a layer of meat sauce, followed by a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (break to fit), then a layer of cheese mixture, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat until ingredients are used up, ending with sauce and mozzarella on top.
4. **Cook:** Cover and cook on **low for 4–6 hours** or **high for 2.5–3 hours**, until noodles are tender and the lasagna is hot and bubbly.
5. **Rest before serving:** Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes with the lid off so it sets up for easier slicing.

#### Tips for Crockpot Lasagna Success

* Use **regular dried lasagna noodles** (not oven-ready) — they hold up better in the slow cooker.
* Add chopped **spinach or zucchini** for a veggie boost.
* Want it extra saucy? Use a bit more marinara than you would in a baked version.
* Feeding a crowd? Double the recipe in a large 7- to 8-quart slow cooker.
