Crock-Pot Lasagna

I wish we had more recipes on here cuz I really do like them and have tried a lot of them, and after Angie said she liked to use the crock pot I remembered this recipe I got from my mom and thought I'd share. It's super easy, makes a lot, and is really good.

Crock-Pot Lasagna

1 lb ground beef

1 jar (26-28 oz) tomato pasta sauce 

1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1 jar (1 lb) Alfredo pasta sauce

1/2 package (9 oz) no-boil lasagna noodles (about 8 noodles)

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cook ground beef in large skillet, drain.

2. Spray 4-5 quart crock-pot with non-stick cooking spray. Spread 3/4 cup of tomato pasta sauce in bottom of cooker. Stir remaining tomato pasta sauce and tomato sauce into ground beef.

3. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over sauce in slow cooker, breaking noodles as necessary. Top with 1/3 of the alfredo sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top with 1/3 of the ground beef mixture, spreading evenly.

4. Repeat laying twice, using 2 lasagna noodles in last layer. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

5. Cover, cook on Low 3 1/2-4 1/2 hours.

Crock Pot Meatball Marinara

As you probably know by now, I love crockpot meals! I now try to add a crockpot meal each week when I do my meal plan. I found this one on Jamie Cooks It Up and we loved it (and Mike's usually not a huge spaghetti fan)! It's super easy and super good! I actually halved the recipe since there's only two of us. Since the recipe calls for 3 cans of tomatoes I used 2 and I thought it was great. I also used the Costco meatballs like she used because I already had them.

Here's the link. Go try it out! http://jamiecooksitup.net/2012/09/meatball-marinara-crock-pot/
