Crock Pot Lasagna

For Bree. . . (and Heather)

Crock Pot Lasagna (ok just as a side note. Lasagna is one of those words that people like me who can't spell curse.  I mean seriously have you tried to pronounce that word phonetically.)

1 lb sausage
28 oz rag of spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 c. tomato sauce
1 3/4 c. cottage cheese
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
12 pieces regular or oven ready lasagna
4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

In skillet, cook meat until browned; remove from heat. Drain. Stir in spaghetti and tomato sauces.  In small bowl, stir together ricotta or cottage cheese, egg, basil and oregano. In crock pot, spoon in meat sauce, place uncooked lasagna over meat sauce (break noodles if needed) and top with cheese mixture.  Spread meat sauce over cheese mixture and top with mozzarella cheese. Repeat until crock pot is full.(I usually only do about 2 layers ie.sauce, noodles, cheese sauce noodles cheese sauce sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese but my crock pot is huge)  Cook on low for approximately 4 hours.


This is very yummy!! I have found with my over zealous crock pot that it only takes about 3 hours and if it is left longer then the noodles get a little too done for my taste. This recipe came from my new favorite cookbook; "Favorites from our Tables Millville 1st Ward" and the recipe was submitted by Pam June. 

Enjoy!
