When you have a husband who doesn’t get home at the same time every night, you need some good slow cooker recipes in your back pocket.  This easy to make slow cooker recipe is a winner in my house. It also will leave you with leftovers to eat and enjoy.

1 lb ground beef
1 onion chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
1 (29 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 (12 oz) package of lasagna noodles
12 oz cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese

In a skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until brown.  Stir in the the tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, and oregano.  Cook until heated through.

In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Spoon a layer of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker.  Add a double of layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles.  Break to fit the noodles into the slow cooker if needed.  Top the noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture.  Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all the ingredients are used.

Cover and cook on low heat in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours.
