Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 lb italian sausage
  • ½ medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 box lasagna noodles (boiled for 4 minutes)
  • 3 jars marinara sauce
  • 2 Cups Cottage Cheese (large curd)
  • 4 Cups of mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • ½ Cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Brown the ground beef and the loose sausage.
    1 lb Ground Beef, 1 lb italian sausage
  • Remove the cooked meat to a clean plate, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
  • Saute the onion and garlic in the pan drippings.
    ½ medium onion, 2 cloves Garlic
  • Combine sauce with the browned off meat.
    3 jars marinara sauce
  • Reserve 1 cup of mozzerella cheese for the topping and combine the reamining cheeses, egg and seasonings.
    2 Cups Cottage Cheese, 4 Cups of mozzarella cheese, ½ Cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 Egg, 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • Precook the lasagna noodles for 4 minutes.
    1 box lasagna noodles
  • Ladle sauce/meat mixture on the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Layer par-cooked noodles to cover the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Layer ⅓ of the cheese mixture over the meat and sauce.
  • Top with enough sauce and meat to cover the cheese layer.
  • Repeat the process staring with the cooked noodle layer.
  • Finish the layering with noodles and the reserved cup of mozzerella cheese.
  • Turn the crockpot on low for and cook for 3-4 hours. I would not recommend using the high setting as feel it dries out the noodles on the edges.

Notes

  1. Spray a large crockpot with cooking spray, for easier clean up.
  2. Fill each jar ¼ of the way full with water and swish to get out every last bit of sauce and dump into the sauce/meat mixture.
