This recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks from Gooseberry Patch, Harvest Kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained
1 t. Italian seasoning
8 lasagna noodles, uncooked and broken into thirds
28 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
1/3 c. water
Optional: 4 oz. can sliced mushrooms, drained
15 oz. container ricotta cheese
8 oz. pkg. shredded mozzarella cheese
Combine ground beef and Italian seasoning. Arrange half the lasagna noodles in a greased slow cooker. Spread half the ground beef mixture over noodles. top with half each of remaining ingredients. Repeat layering process. Cover and cook for 5 hours on low setting. Serves 10 (well, in my house it serves 6).
Notice the handle (or lack thereof) on the lid of my crock pot. It's been that way for years, but since the crock pot works just fine I limp along without a handle.
Make an easy meal by adding some garlic bread and a salad.

This sounds really great. I have a recipe for crockpot "pizza" which is sorta similar. It's pizza flavored with the toppings of pizza, but noodles instead of a crust. I'm going to try this one!
About that handle-less lid of yours... I once broke my crockpot lid, but found that one of my Corel plates fit exactly, so I used that as a lid until I found another one at a yard sale.
Man, that looks like regular lasagna! I want to try that!

Oh, it looks sooooo good! I am low carbing right now, I'm trying to get these 10-15 pounds off, they have been hanging around since my last child was born (she's 3 now). I'm on day 3 and so far I feel really great except that I want some pasta, this recipe is especially tempting to me! But I will remain strong, hopefully :)
Hey, slow down! you're sharing too man good ideas at once, I can't get to them in orderly fashion. ;) Seriously, as i said before i am usually scared of my crockpot, so i am loving these suggestions. i will try this for sure.
Blessings!
Marytoo, I would love to have your recipe.
Missy homemaker, hope I didn't tempt to you TOO much! :)
Armchair Housewife, don't be scared of your crockpot! :) It's one of my best friends in the kitchen.
I am going to try this recipe this weekend. During the Thanksgiving holidays I try not to go grocery shopping much at all. I was going to use cottage cheese as a low fat replacement, have you tried that before?
I plan on doing my shopping tomorrow, then I will be done for the weekend. Except for cooking it!
This is wonderful even with cottage cheese and no ricotta.
