Slow Cooker Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups marinara sauce
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
• 9 lasagna noodles, uncooked (regular, not no-boil)
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat, then drain excess fat and stir in the marinara sauce.
2. 2In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. 3Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker, then break a layer of uncooked noodles over it, breaking them to fit as needed.
4. 4Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella, then repeat the layers, ending with meat sauce and a final layer of mozzarella on top.
5. 5Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2.5 hours, until the noodles are tender when pierced with a fork.
6. 6Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving so the layers set.
