How to Make Meaty Crock Pot Lasagna
- Cut 1 lb Italian sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb Italian sausage, 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced), and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp Italian seasoning.
- Cook until the meat is browned and the mushrooms are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in one (24 oz) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup water with one (24 oz) jar of spaghetti sauce.
- Spread a thin layer of the thinned sauce in the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker to prevent sticking.
- Layer 6-8 lasagna noodles (oven-ready preferred) in the bottom of the slow cooker, breaking them as needed to fit.
- Layer with 1/3 of the meat sauce, 1/3 of a 15 oz container of ricotta cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers: noodles, 1/3 meat sauce, 1/3 ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella.
- Repeat layers one last time: noodles, remaining meat sauce, remaining ricotta, and remaining mozzarella.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 2 1/2 hours. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
