Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Italian sausage
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 28 oz Crushed tomatoes
• 6 oz Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Pepper
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 10 sheets Lasagna noodles (uncooked)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the ground Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove excess grease if needed.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

Spoon a small amount of the meat sauce onto the bottom of the crock pot to create a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Break the uncooked lasagna noodles into pieces as needed to fit a single layer over the sauce.

Step 8

Spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of the meat sauce.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce) until all ingredients are used or the crock pot is full, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.

Step 10

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the noodles are tender.

Step 11

Turn off the heat and let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Crock Pot Sausage Lasagna!
