Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, part-skim
  • 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, low-fat, shredded
  • 6 lasagna noodles
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Step: Heat a large skillet over medium-high.
  2. Step: Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until it’s browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Step: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce.
  4. Step: Season with salt, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Step: Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Step: In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta and 1 cup of mozzarella.
  7. Step: Spoon one-third of the meat sauce into the bottom of the crock pot.
  8. Step: Break three lasagna noodles in half and place them on top of the sauce.
  9. Step: Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.
  10. Step: Add another one-third of the meat sauce on top.
  11. Step: Layer the remaining noodles over the sauce.
  12. Step: Spread the rest of the ricotta mixture on top.
  13. Step: Finish with the last third of the meat sauce.
  14. Step: Cover the crock pot and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours.
  15. Step: In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella with the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the cooked lasagna.
  16. Step: Cover again and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the lasagna sets.
