Instructions
- Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, and oregano. Cook long enough for the sauce to get warm.
- Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 1/3 of the meat sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of lasagna noodles, about 1/3 of the package. Break the noodles to fit the inside of the slow cooker and cover the meat sauce. Top noodles with 1/3 of the Cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. Repeat with two more layers of sauce, noodles, and cheese mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
- Serve immediately. Makes 10 servings.
Notes
- There is a tip I would suggest when making this lasagna. I have had several slow cookers through the years, and they all seem to have a "hot spot" where the food cooks faster and can burn. This tends to happen with dense dishes, like this lasagna or other casserole type dishes. It's not the end of the world if this happens, but it can be prevented. I learned this trick from Karen at 365 Days of Slow Cooking:
- Layer and fold sheets of heavy-duty foil until you have a six-layer foil rectangle.
- Press the rectangle into the "hot spot" side of the slow cooker insert. The food will help hold the foil in place during cooking.
