Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce
- Lasagna noodles (uncooked)
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Brown the Beef
Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure to drain any excess fat to ensure a lean and flavorful start to your layers.
Layer the Lasagna
Pour 1 cup of spaghetti sauce into a 4-quart slow cooker. Break and fit 2 uncooked lasagna noodles on top. Follow this by adding one-third of the browned beef, then layer with ¾ cup of cottage cheese and ½ cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers: noodles, beef, cottage cheese, and mozzarella. Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining beef, and top it off with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cook in the Slow Cooker
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for about 4 hours. The dish is done when the noodles are tender, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and there is a hint of golden perfection.
