Crock Pot Lasagna

imgres.jpg

This makes lasagna that much easier!
I sampled this recipe at Macey's grocery store. The kids loved it and figured using a crockpot sounded great!
{and I loved that you didn't have to boil the noodles}

1 lb ground beef
1 yellow onion chopped (I only did 1/2 onion and that seemed to be plenty)
2 cloves garlic smashed
1 29 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 16 oz cottage cheese
5 oz grated parmesan cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
16 oz lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1 t dried oregano

Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in fry pan. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt & oregano. Cook until meat sauce if warm.
Spoon a layer of meat sauce onto the bottom of the crock pot. Add a double layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (break to fit) and top with a layer of the cheeses. Repeat with sauce, noodles and cheeses until all are used up.
Add 1/2 C water around outside edge of lasagna. Cover & cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Serves 6
