How To Make crockpot lasagna

Step 1

Sauté meat, onion, bell pepper and garlic until meat is not longer pinkish and onion, pepper, and garlic are tender.

Step 2

Meanwhile mix sauces and spices together. Add meat mixtures to sauce mixture and simmer 30 minutes.
Step 3

Spray crockpot or slow cooker with cooking spray or you can use a slow cooker liner. Add beaten egg to cottage cheese in a small bowl and mix well.
Step 4

If you want to boil noodles, boil no longer than 5 minutes. Ladle some sauce mixture into the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker.
Step 5

Add 3 noodles, top with some cottage cheese mixture, add some sauce, then some mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat layers.
Step 6

Top with cheeses. Cook approximately 4 - 6 hours in crockpot or slow cooker, depending on your appliance.
Step 7

NOTE: If you're going to cook this most of the day, cook it on low; if you're only going to cook it a few hours, cook on high.
