Easy Crockpot Lasagna Recipe

This lasagna features layers of noodles, ground beef, marinara sauce, and a blend of cheeses, all cooked to perfection in your slow cooker. The recipe takes about 6 hours on low and serves 6-8 people.

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles uncooked
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
2 cups marinara sauce
15 ounces ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish optional

Instructions

Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in marinara sauce. Set aside.
Mix the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Layer the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the Crockpot. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella, and a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles, remaining meat sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
