Main Ingredients

▢ 1.5 pounds ground beef lean
▢ 1 jar marinara sauce 24 ounces
▢ 9 sheets oven-ready lasagna noodles
▢ 15 ounces ricotta cheese
▢ 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
▢ 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
▢ 0.5 teaspoon salt
▢ 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
▢ 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
Grease the inside of the slow cooker. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them if necessary to fit.
Spread a portion of the ricotta cheese over the noodles, followed by more meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the noodles are tender.
Let the lasagna cool for about 15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey for beef if desired, and add sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
