Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- 1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Layer the Lasagna: Pour 1 cup of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. Lay down 2 uncooked lasagna noodles, breaking them if necessary. Spread one-third of the browned beef over the noodles, followed by ¾ cup of cottage cheese and ½ cup of mozzarella. Repeat layers: noodles, beef, cottage cheese, mozzarella. Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining beef mixture, and top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cook in the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, until noodles are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
Notes
- Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
- Customize with additional vegetables or different cheeses as desired.
