Cooking Thursday

I tried a new lasagne recipe last week. It's one that's made in the crockpot, so it doesn't cut into the nice squares like a regular recipe, but it was very easy to make and tasted wonderful!

 Crockpot Lasagne

2 lbs cooked ground hamburger meat
1/2  onion chopped
2 jars marinara sauce (I used Classico - tomato basil)

 1/2 box lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1 (2 lb) tub ricotta cheese
3 cups mozzarella cheese
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Add a little olive oil to a skillet and cook onions until caramelized

Add hamburger meat to onions (season with your favorite seasonings – I use seasoned salt, garlic and oregano) until browned, then add marinara sauce. Simmer while making cheese mixture below.

Combine ricotta cheese, salt, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and egg.

Spray crock pot with cooking spray,

Start layering in the crock pot. Add a layer of meat (doesn’t need to be thick)

Then add a layer of uncooked noodles

Then a layer of the cheese mixture

You will then repeat those layers one more time

Finish with the rest of the meat sauce and 1-2 cups mozzarella cheese.

Cook on low for 3 hours (low so the noodles don’t over cook)
