Quick and Easy Crockpot Lasagna

Posted by "Crazy Tom" on Jan 30, 2009 in Recipes

Here is a recipe that a friend had given to me for Quick and Easy Crockpot Lasagna. Yes, you can make good lasagna in the crockpot.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • Two 15 oz cans of tomato sauce
  • One 6 oz can of tomato paste
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • .5 tsp basil
  • 12 oz cottage cheese
  • .25 to .5 cup of parmesean cheese
  • 12 oz box lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken)
  • 8-12 oz shredded mozzerella cheese

Brown ground beef and onion; drain off fat. Add garlic, tomato sauce and paste, salt, oregano, and basil. Cook just long enough to heat through the sauce. Place a layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of the crockpot. Cover the sauce with a double layer of broken noodles and then a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until the crockpot is just about full or you run out of ingredients (which ever comes first) and finish the layer with the cheese. Cover and cook on low in the crockpot for 6-8 hours.

This is a fairly easy recipe that I use quite often. You may use your own sauce or substitute as you see fit. Hope you like it.

Beef and Cheese Manicotti

Posted by "Crazy Tom" on Jan 30, 2009 in Recipes
After trying to figure out what I wanted to make for dinner today, I finally decided on Beef and Cheese Manicotti. I had looked at a few different recipes and this was the one that I chose.

It is amazing. I must thank the author of this recipe for sharing such a great meal.
Thank you Giada DeLaurentiis and Food Network!!!
I have a tendancy to read a recipe to find out basics, and then make variations to suit my own tastes. With this recipe I used a 5 cheese blend of shredded mozzarella, provolone, romano, asiago, and parmesan to add a little more favor. Instead of using plain ground beef, I use a mixture of ground beef and ground italian sausage. I had to cheat, as I did not have time to make my own marinara sauce. Instead, I used Prego Traditional, with some added seasonings.
Well, here is how it came out.
