CROCKPOT LASAGNA

Instructions:

1. Brown the Meat

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
• Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened and fragrant.

2. Prepare the Sauce

• Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet with the cooked meat mixture.
• Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Allow the sauce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

3. Assemble the Lasagna

• In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, beaten eggs, and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese.
• Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of the crockpot.
• Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit.
• Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ensuring the top layer is cheese.

4. Cook in the Crockpot

• Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Once cooked, let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
• Serve hot and savor the irresistible flavors of homemade crockpot lasagna.
