Easy Crockpot Lasagna with Spaghetti Sauce

I’m back with another weeknight favorite dinner idea! This lasagna is so, so good. I love to make this on weeknights, but I love it just as much on the weekends.

There are so many weekend days that we are busy running around with the kiddos and all of a sudden I look up to the clock staring at me saying 6:00 p.m. and I literally have no plans for dinner. Zero, nada, zilch. Because I am a planner at heart this is so, well, disheartening. And, maddening really. 🙂

When I make crockpot dinners like this lazy crockpot lasagna, I don’t have to worry about what’s for dinner because it’s already done for me when I walk in the door. {Smiles as I’m typing this}.

If you’re like me and love dinners that can be in the crock pot all afternoon and basically make themselves, then this is the dinner for you.

Here is what you need to make this Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna with Spaghetti Sauce:

• 1/2 lb. Italian sausage
• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 45 ounces Spaghetti sauce (I use Prego)
• 20 ounces cottage cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 T Italian seasoning
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (divided)
• 9 regular lasagna noodles broken in half

How to Make Crockpot Lasagna with Spaghetti:

Step 1:

Brown Italian sausage and ground beef in a pan together.

Step 2:

Add the browned meat to the spaghetti sauce.

Step 3:

Combine the cottage cheese, egg, parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings together, stirring well.

Step 4:

Spray the crockpot with nonstick spray.

Step 5:

Layer ingredients like this:

1/3 meat/sauce mixture

3 noodles broken in half

1/2 cottage cheese mixture

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/3 meat/sauce mixture

3 noodles broken in half

1/2 cottage cheese mixture

1 cup mozzarella cheese

3 noodles broken in half

1/3 meat/sauce mixture

Step 6:

I used my Ninja Slow Cooker on low for 4 hours. Depending on your slow cooker, you might need 4-6 hours. I would not cook on high with this recipe, and check it at 4 hours.

Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
