INSTRUCTIONS

 Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet. (You need a larger skillet for this because you'll be adding the spaghetti sauce and water to it later

 Then add in onion and garlic and cook for additional 1 to 2 minutes. Author suggests seasoning the beef mixture with a little salt at this point too

Drain excess grease from beef. And put back into skillet

Pour in spaghetti sauce, water and cherry tomatoes (if using

Give it all a good stir (you can turn the heat off at this point

Give it a taste test, add additional salt if necessary

In a separate bowl, mix together cottage cheese, 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, egg, pepper and chopped parsley. (Put your remaining cheeses back in the fridge, you'll be using those as a topping later

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray

Scoop approximately 1 cup of meat sauce into bottom of slow cooker

Top with one layer of uncooked lasagna noodles. (Just do your best to break them up to fit into your slow cooker

 Next top with a layer of cheese mixture


Keep adding layers, ending with meat sauce. (Author was able to get 3 layers in her 5-quart slow cooker

Put the lid on and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. (It took exactly 4 hours in author’s slow cooker). (You want most of the liquid to be absorbed and noodles should be soft

When it is finished cooking, add remaining cheeses

Put the lid back on for about 10 to 15 more minutes until cheese is melted

Slice and serve it up with a crisp salad and some garlic bread
