Crockpot Lasagna

I love lasagna. I'm not good at getting it right though. This is the first recipe I've ever used that I've made successfully over and over again for lasagna. What can i say? The crock pot is very forgiving.

With that being said, DarRell loves this lasagna the best too.

Crock pot Lasagna

1 pkg no-bake lasagna noodles broken into 2 pieces
1 lb ground beef (i usually put in sausage or half sausage and half ground beef)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
4 oz. can sliced mushrooms, optional
15 oz. ricotta cheese (i use cottage cheese)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
dried parsley

brown ground meat in a skillet and drain well. Stir in Italian seasoning.

In a greased crock pot, layer ingredients as noted:
1/3 noodles
1/2 of ground beef mixture
1/2 of sauce,
1/2 of mushrooms
1/2 of ricotta/cottage cheese
1/2 of mozzarella cheese
repeat all layers again
Top with last layer of noodles, a bit more sauce, a little extra cheese and parsley.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours.
