Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jar 24 oz pasta sauce (Make sure it’s halal-friendly!)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 box 8 oz lasagna noodles, uncooked

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Beef

  • Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up into little pieces as it cooks. Once it’s browned, toss in the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic smells amazing. Drain any extra grease (because, ew), then stir in your pasta sauce. Set it aside.

Step 2: Mix the Cheese Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, the egg, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. This cheesy mix will be the star of the show.

Step 3: Spray Your Crockpot

  • Trust me, don’t skip this step. Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray—it’ll make cleanup so much easier.

Step 4: Layer the Lasagna

  • Now it’s time to build your masterpiece. Start with a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of the crockpot. Break up the lasagna noodles so they fit, and lay them down. Then spread on some of the cheese mixture. Add another layer of meat sauce, then noodles, then cheese. Keep going until everything is used up, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.

Step 5: Cook on Low

  • Cover your crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours. The noodles will soften perfectly as they cook. About 30 minutes before it’s done, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top and cover it again so it gets all melty.

Step 6: Let It Rest and Serve

  • Once it’s done, let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes to cool and set. Then slice it up and serve! Garlic bread or a simple salad on the side makes it a full meal.
