Slow Cooker Lasagna

Yield: 8 servings

Prep Time: 20 min

Cook Time: 6 hrs

There is nothing like coming home at the end of a long day and having dinner ready to put on the table!

Ingredients:

1 pound cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Two 26-ounce jars marinara sauce
2 pounds lean ground beef, cooked
One 9-ounce package lasagna noodles

Directions:

1. Place the cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl and stir to combine.

2. Add a thin layer of pasta sauce to the bottom of a slow cooker. Add a thin layer of the cooked ground beef and a layer of the noodles, breaking the noodles to make them fit. Top the noodle layer with a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat until all of the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Serve hot.

Tips:

*Choose a type of marinara sauce that has garlic and Italian spices mixed in.
*Possible add-in: Frozen, defrosted spinach- squeezed dry.
