Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup bacon crumbles
- 1 (25 oz) jar tomato basil sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar jack blend
Instructions
- Spread about a quarter cup of tomato basil sauce on the bottom of a casserole crockpot or a 6 quart oval slow cooker.
- Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and break it up. Add in the onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
- Stir in the bacon crumbles, tomato basil sauce and water. Turn off heat and set aside.
- In a bowl whisk together the cottage cheese, egg and parmesan cheese.
- Lay 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of the slow cooker (break to fit if needed). Spread half of cottage cheese mixture over the top. Spread half of the meat sauce over the top. Repeat the layers. Sprinkle the cheddar jack on top.
- Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 2-4 hours, depending on your slow cooker. (My casserole crock cooked the lasagna perfectly in exactly 2 hours).
- Slice and serve.
