Slow Cooker Lasagna


Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 cans (15 ounces each) Italian-style tomato sauce
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
1 container (15 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
15 uncooked lasagna noodles



Directions

Cook sausage and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium
heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage
is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and
salt. Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta
and Parmesan cheeses. (Refrigerate remaining mozzarella
cheese while lasagna cooks.) Spoon one-fourth of the
sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with 5
noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread with half
of the cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mix.
Top with 5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and 1/4
of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining 5 noodles
and remaining sausage mixture. Cover and cook on Low
heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender.
Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining 1 cup mozzarella
cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until
cheese is melted. Cut into pieces.
