I was looking for recipes to do in the Crock Pot during the week. I came across this recipe on www.thefamilyhomestead.com. I have not tired it but I like it because it sounds good and easy. You might want to use the normal Spaghetti Sauce that you like or you can use the one that came with this recipe. I am going to make this next week. We are going to the Grocery store only once a week now.

Crockpot Lasagna
3 cups cottage cheese
2 eggs
2 teaspoon dried parsley
8 to 10 lasagna noodles, UNCOOKED
Spaghetti sauce, see recipe below
3 to 4 cup mozzarella cheese

Spray a large 5 to 6 quart Crockpot with a non stick spray such as Pam. In a small bowl combine cottage cheese, eggs and parsley, set aside. Put a layer of lasagna noodle on the bottom of the Crockpot. breaking them if needed to fit. Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles. Then spoon 1/3 of the cottage cheese and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over this. Repeat layers 2 more times. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Before serving, turn off Crockpot and remove lid and let it sit for a bit to cool down and firm it up for serving.

Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb. hamburger
1 small to medium onion, chopped
1 green or red pepper, chopped
4 to 5 large mushrooms or small ones, chopped
2, 14 oz., caned diced tomatoes
1, 8 oz., can tomato sauce
1, 6 oz., can tomato paste
1? tablespoon Italian seasonings
2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 tablespoons juice crystals
small amount of water to thin sauce

In a large frying pan or sauce pan cook hamburger, onions, peppers and mushrooms until meat is no longer pink and veggies are tender. In a blender puree diced tomatoes and add to hamburger/veggie mix. Add the tomato sauce and paste, Italian seasonings, salt and cane juice crystals. You can thin out the sauce with a little bit of water, you want it a little thinner than normally because the lasagna noodles will absorb the liquid. Use the sauce in the above Crockpot Lasagna recipe.

Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associates take care, stay safe and cool.
