Today's recipe is one I just made for the first time and we really liked it. It's a crock pot recipe with a twist. It can be prepared ahead of time and frozen, and you know I love freezer meals!

Combine the ground beef, tomato sauce, tomato paste, 1 cup water, minced onion, seasoned salt and garlic and place in a gallon size ziploc bag.
Combine mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning and place in quart size ziploc bag.
Break lasagna noodles into thirds and place into quart size ziploc bag.
Place all 3 bags into gallon ziploc bag and freeze.
To prepare, thaw, then:

I never would have guessed slow cooker lasagna was possible. Guess I was wrong. This sounds easy and good too.
Sounds like another winner, Mari! Duly noted!
I'll have to pass this on to my girls who all three, have slow-cookers and then maybe hint, suggest or blatantly invite ourselves over for supper!! Looks yummy!
I'm missing my slow cooker. I really need to get another one. That looks delicious!
This would be a great idea for someone who is sick - I could freeze the ingredients and they could fix it anytime they felt up to it. Sounds yummy.
I think I can even do this one!!!
I would never have dreamed of putting this into a slow cooker. Well, I'll be!!! Wonderful. Can you hear my stomach growling?
Hi Mari, slow cooker lasagna - I'm trying this one.
I love slow cookers!!
I love my crockpot. I will definitely give this one a try.
That would be a great gift for a new mom or for anyone who needs meals brought in.
Nothing like comfort food! This looks like a great dish, I need to make more of these freeze and serve later dishes!
Lasagna, slow cooker, and freezer? Perfect.

I haven't used a slow cooker for years... maybe it is time to revive it!
