SLOW-COOKER LASAGNA
Convenient no-cook lasagna noodles take the work out of this traditional favorite adapted for the slow cooker. It's so easy to assemble for workdays or weekends. We like it accompanied by Parmesan bread or garlic cheese toast. -Lisa Micheletti, Collierville, Tennessee

CINDI'S SLOW COOKER LASAGNA
It's been quite a few years since I made this Lasagna. Recently I came across this recipe, which I shared in our Marshfield Buyers Guide Readers Recipe Cook Book. But since then, I've made a few changes to the recipe.

Steps:
- 1. In a 12-inch skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic, until the meat is no longer pink; drain off the fat.
- 2. Now add the salt, Mrs. Dash Salt Free Seasoning, black pepper, spaghetti sauce and tomato paste. (After I added the spaghetti sauce, I then put 2 Tablespoons of water inside the empty jar. Placed the lid back on the jar, then shook it up a bit, before adding it back to the skillet.) Cook until heated through.
- 3. In a medium size bowl, mix together, the cottage cheese, sour cream, parmesan cheese, and the 1-1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Cheese mixture will be thick.
- 4. Be sure to reserve 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, to sprinkling on top the final layer of meat sauce.
- 5. Grease the inside of a 6-quart rectangular slow cooker. (I used a cooking spray to coat the inside of the slow cooker.)
- 6. Spoon 1/4 of the meat sauce in the bottom of a slow cooker.
- 7. Arrange 3 (uncooked) lasagna noodles over the meat sauce.
- 8. Spoon 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the uncooked Lasagna noodles.
- 9. Repeat layers twice, with meat sauce, Lasagna noodles, and the cheese mixture.
- 10. Top with remaining meat sauce.

- 14. Yields: 8 servings.
Tips:
- Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze. Just remove the liner from the slow cooker and throw it away.
- Brown the ground beef and sausage before adding it to the slow cooker: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat.
- Use a variety of cheeses: This will give the lasagna a more complex flavor. Mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the lasagna: The noodles should be cooked through, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together.
