Ingredients
1boxregular lasagna noodles
16ozcottage cheese
2lbsground beefcooked and drained
2cansspaghetti sauce26 ounces each
2cupsmozzarella cheese
1-2cupsadditional mozzarella cheese to top before servingoptional but wonderful
Instructions
First, cook the ground beef if needed. Then in a medium bowl, stir together the two kinds of cheese until well combined.
Spoon a layer of sauce into the bottom of the crockpot. Add about 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle a small amount of ground beef over the top of the cheese. Top with a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles, breaking to make them fit. Be sure to alternate which way the noodles go with each layer. Top noodles with another layer of sauce. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, ending with sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. You can also cook it on high for about 2.5 to 3 hours. It cuts better (prettier) if you turn off the slow cooker and let it sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
If desired, top with another layer of mozzarella before serving.
