Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or skillet, add the beef and onion on medium high heat, breaking it apart into small crumbles as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Add in the basil, oregano, fennel seeds, Kosher salt and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add in the marinara sauce and stir to combine.
- Add enough sauce to cover the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Into your slow cooker evenly layer in the following order (take care to make sure the layers are as flat as possible): • Lasagna noodles broken to fit the shape of your slow cooker (a little overlap is totally fine here). • Spoon a third of the meat sauce. • Add a third of the ricotta in small spoonfuls along with a third of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours.
- If you want the slices to come out clean, as with any lasagna you would have to wait 15-20 minutes for it to cool a bit. Remove the insert from your slow cooker and place on a heat-safe surface.
Notes
- Notes:
- You will likely have some noodles left over, using them all in the slow cooker would be difficult.
- If your liquids are not fully covering the noodles, add more water to just cover them.
