Preparation Steps
- In a large deep skillet over medium high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink.
- Drain any excess grease and then add the spaghetti sauce, beef broth, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the skillet and stir until everything is well mixed.
- Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- In the meantime, combine 1 ½ cups of the divided mozzarella cheese, small curd cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and large egg together in a bowl. Stir everything together well.
- Spray the bottoms and sides of your crockpot and begin layering.
- Spread a layer of 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top of meat sauce. Fit the crock pot by breaking two lasagna noodles and leave one unbroken for the middle layer.
- Spread 1 cup of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles.
- Repeat the layering until everything is used. You should have enough for four sets of layers.
- Top the last layer of noodles with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until the noodles absorb the liquid and are soft. Check tenderness with a fork or knife.
- Plate and serve warm with some minced parsley as a garnish, optional.
