VERY SIMPLE CROCK POT LASAGNA

This recipe is for those who don't have a cabinet of spices and want a short list of ingredients to remember at the grocery store. It goes over well with my family, who are used to a more traditional, labor-intensive lasagna. The recipe calls for setting the crock pot on High, which cooks the lasagna in about 2 hours, but if set on low would probably take 6-8 hours.

1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (whatever your favorite brand and variety)
1 (16 ounce) jar alfredo sauce (I use the 4 cheese variety)
uncooked lasagna noodle
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend (may use 2 if you want a cheesier lasagna)

Steps:

  • Brown and drain ground meat.
  • Place a layer of lasagna noodles in bottom of crock pot.
  • Spoon in a layer of ground meat.
  • Layer approximately 1/3 jar of each sauce.
