Crockpot Lasagna
Crockpot Lasagna is a 20/10. The real work is in the prep, but the reward is oh so great! This is the perfect meal if you are looking for warm, comfort food on a cold day or just looking to feed a crowd. I have a family of 5, with four of the five being adults and sometimes we are feeding friends, and boyfriends, and…..well you get the gist. This recipe fills my Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker PRO almost to the top and yields many, many servings. If you know me, I measure mostly with my heart so serving sizes and nutritional facts aren’t my strong suit.
Let’s get into it, as they say in the influencer world.
If you are familiar with lasagna, this recipe is pretty traditional in that we use ricotta cheese, there are layers, so on and so forth. The beauty is in the “set it and forget it” slow cooker/crockpot method of cooking and no boiling noodles. Basically, this crockpot lasagna comes together while you’re busy slaying the day! We are busy boss babes of our own world, and our lasagna can still be homemade. Of course I also take short cuts, but you don’t have to. For example, I like to use Rao’s Marinara Sauce, but if you prefer to throw together your own sauce…..you do you babe! Then invite me over so I can try it! Haha!
What you will need:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 small yellow onion diced
- About 44 ounces Rao’s Marinara Sauce (or whatever sauce you prefer)
- 2-12 ounces boxes of uncooked oven ready lasagna noodles
- 2- 15 ounces containers of ricotta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 32 ounces mozzarella shredded
- 2 cups Parmesan cheese
- On the stove-top brown ground beef, add the onion and cook until translucent or clear. Drain any remaining grease. Next add Rao’s Marinara Sauce.
- Set aside about a cup of mozzarella cheese and a cup of Parmesan cheese for topping. In a bowl mix together ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
- Add a small amount of sauce to a greased crockpot. Layer uncooked lasagna noodles (you may have to break them up to fit). Add a layer of the cheese and egg mixture. Repeat the layers until you’ve used all the ingredients.
- Add cheese to the top. Cover the last layer with more mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- Cook on low for about 4-6 hours.
