    We all have those days when there is so much to get done that dinner needs to be something that's easy to throw together and that everybody loves. This Crockpot Lasagna is just the ticket for that kind of day.

    Crock Pot Lasagna Recipe

    Now don't let me mislead you.

    I've always been a fan of the long process of putting together a traditional lasagna...the boiling of the noodles, making my own sauce from scratch, layering the pan with lovely browned Italian sausage, oodles of fresh cheeses, and noodles.

    Using just about every pot I own to make a hefty (and heavy pan) of lasagna that would bake in the oven to cooked perfection.

    Then I would obsess over how it would look when plated...did it cool long enough to serve it into a perfect little square of cheesy, noodly goodness on the plate?!

    Well, I got over it.

    Using the simplest ingredients and the same method of layering, this lasagna tastes almost every bit as good as the lasagna I slaved hours over and truth be told, my family loves it just as much!

    Who cares if it's not in a perfect little square on the plate anyway? The flavor is still there and weeknight lasagna just got a whole lot easier.

    This recipe is for my son Adam. I'm hoping that now he can, and will, make his own crockpot lasagna and who knows? Maybe some night he'll even invite his mom over for dinner!  LOL! 

    Well, let us take this one step at a time, shall we?

    CROCKPOT LASAGNA       {PRINT THIS RECIPE}

    1 box of lasagna noodles (you won't use all of it)
    1 large (32 ounces) jar of your favorite sauce
    1 - 16-ounce container of cottage cheese
    1 - 16-ounce container of ricotta cheese
    1 bag of your favorite brand of frozen meatballs (you won't use an entire bag)
    Parmesan cheese (you decide how much)
    shredded mozzarella cheese (you decide how much)
    dried oregano (approximately 2 teaspoons, divided)
    dried basil   (approximately 2 teaspoons, divided)
    salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)

    -In the bottom of the crockpot, add enough sauce to almost cover.
    -Break up about 3-4 lasagna noodles and layer them over the sauce.
    -Add a layer of frozen meatballs.
    -Add some salt and pepper.
    -Spread half of the ricotta cheese and half of the cottage cheese in a layer over the meatballs.
    -Sprinkle half of the basil, and oregano over top, and then add some garlic powder to taste.
    -Add a layer of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
    -Continue by adding another generous layer of sauce and repeat the process of layering...(not necessarily in this order:  broken noodles, meatballs, salt and pepper, cottage and ricotta cheeses, basil, oregano and garlic powder, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and finish with a final layer of sauce.
    -Cover and cook on low for 8 - 9 hours.

    I served mine with some nice steamed broccoli and some store-bought frozen garlic bread (can't get much easier than that) to round out the meal.

    And, as everybody knows, this will even be better as leftovers the next few days, which is perfect for a bachelor like you, Adam!!!

    Pull up a chair and dig in. Dinner is served...

      We love lasagna around here and I'm loving your crock-pot method Renee.
      I hope your Adam enjoyed this *letter* to him. If he starts making this at his own apartment he's going to have people knocking at his door looking for an invite to dinner 🙂
