Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz Box of Lasagna Noodles
  • 1 lb Ground Beef *you can use 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb Italian sausage for more flavor
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Italian Spices *you can use oregeno, basil and garlic powder in place of the Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 Egg
  • Fresh Italian Parsley *for garnish

Instructions

  • I use crock pot liners for easy clean up!  So either line your slow cooker or grease bottom and sides with Pam cooking spray.
  • Cook ground beef until no longer pink (and crumbly) with onion and garlic.  8-10 minutes
  • Add 1 jar of sauce to ground beef mixture
  • Take 2nd jar of sauce and cover bottom of slow cooker with 1 cup of sauce.  
  • Mix 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and egg until thoroughly blended.
  • Place uncooked pasta over the sauce so that it covers the bottom.  Then place a third of the meat mixture on top.  
  • Place a third of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles and meat.  Repeat this sequence three times.  
  • End with a layer of noodles on top and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella and fresh parsley.
  • Cook on low for 5 hours and enjoy!!
