Experiment: Crockpot Lasagna

*thanks tablespoon.com for your picture


LASAGNA.
Of course!
Crockpot lasagna none the less.
This is looks SUPER easy and it's Tyler's favorite food so why not get him to be the one to truly critique it?

What you need:
1 lb ground beef
pasta sauce (I used a can of Hunt's sauce from Dollar General)
lasagna noodles
2 & 1/2 cups cottage cheese
4 cups mozzarella cheese

First things first, brown the meat. Apparently that is pretty important. Then, stir the pasta sauce in with the meat. Put 1/3 layer of meat sauce in the bottom of crock pot and layer with noodles (you do not have to cook these first). Mix the cottage cheese and mozzarella together in a separate bowl, then put 1/3 mix over the noodles. Repeat the meat, noodle, cheese steps two more times. Then all you have to do is cook it on low for 4 hours!

HINT: If you have a new crock pot you might want to lessen the time to 2 or 3 hours.

I must say that Tyler was pleased with the results and so was I! It was, however, burnt all around the edges because our crockpot is so new. I think this recipe is going in my favorites though! Now, what to cook next....
