The Recipe That’ll Change How You Use Your Slow Cooker

What are we making? A rich, cheesy, melt-in-your-mouth Slow Cooker Lasagna (yes, really!). It’s layered, hearty, and packed with all the flavor you’d expect from an oven-baked version—but without the effort or the heat from turning on the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar (24 oz) marinara or pasta sauce
• 1 can (15 oz) ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8–10 uncooked lasagna noodles (regular, not no-boil)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Brown the meat:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until fully browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in the pasta sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Mix the cheese layer:
   In a bowl, combine ricotta (or cottage cheese), 1 ½ cups of mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Layer in the slow cooker:
   • Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.
   • Break lasagna noodles to fit and create a layer.
   • Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
