Crockpot Lasagna

Submitted by Jeanine Bigoness

1 to 2 pounds ground beef or sausage (optional if you prefer vegitarian)

1 pkg. Mini lasagna noodles

16 oz. ricotta cheese

12 oz. low fat sour cream

8 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

3 cups vegetables (carrot, broccoli, spinach, etc.) finely chopped

48 oz spagettii sauce

Prepare ingredients in separate bowls:

Fry meat and crumble into small pieces; drain fat.

Mix ricotta cheese and sour cream.  Grate mozzarella cheese.  Chop veggies into small pieces.  Do not cook

In crockpot, layer all ingredients, using approximately 1/3 in each layer.  Start with sauce on the very bottom.  End with sauce topped with mozzarella.

Cook in crockpot on high 1 hour to start, reduce to low 2 to 3 hours.  Or cook on high approximately 2 hours.  Total time depends on your crockpot and the amount of liquid.  Add water or sauce if lasagna becomes dry during cooking or must be warmed for several hours.

Note:  To save time prep food the night before and store in the refrigerator until needed.
