Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 (650mL) jars tomato sauce
  • 1 lb lasagna noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 (475g) tub ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Chopped fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray, then layer a bit of meat sauce on the bottom.

  7. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
