Slow Cooker Lasagna

Sometimes I just like to put all the ingredients for a lasagne into a crock pot and wait for it to cook.  This way I don't have to dirty a lot of pans to create one of my family's favorite Italian dishes.  

Ingredients

1 pound of ground chuck

1-28 ounce jar spaghetti sauce

9 lasagna noodles

1-15 ounce ricotta cheese

2 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning

3/4 cup of water

1-4 ounce can of mushrooms (optional)

3 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Cook beef and Italian seasoning in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles; drain.  Combine spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, seasoned meat, and water in a bowl.  Layer thinly in bottom of lightly greased 4-quart electric slow cooker: 3 uncooked lasagna noodles, sauce mixture, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese.  Repeat for each layer (around 3 layers).  Cover and cook on high setting for one hour; reduce heat and cook on low setting for five hours.  Can do ahead and store in fridge.  

Serves 6-8
