This is a fabulous crock pot recipe from reader Christine:
1 diced onion
couple of cloves minced garlic
oregano, basil
2 large cans crushed tomatoes
1 lb ground something (we like turkey)
3-4 cups shredded mozzarella
2 15oz cottage cheese
1 box lasagna noodles (I always get whole wheat)
Brown 1 lb of something with onions, garlic, oregano, basil and throw in some salt and pepper, of course. Toss in the crushed tomatoes. You layer everything in the crock pot: broken up dry noodles, meat mixture, cottage cheese, mozzarella. I do about three layers, so just divide up everything you have by three and get to layering. 3-5 hours on low. I always then turn it off and let it sit a good 15 minutes, as sometimes it may not have thickened up (because I always forget to get it going in time and am barely making the three-hour mark). Granted, nobody cares. It's yum.
This looks great and might inspire me to buy a larger crock pot. I only have a mini one right now - I won it at a party. Does the turkey taste like beef? Or does it taste totally different?
ReplyDeleteYUM. I will try this one tonight.
ReplyDeleteChristy-
In a sauce like in this recipe you should barely be able to tell the difference between turkey & beef. Lean white meat turkey comes out slightly less moist then just straight turkey (combo of dark & white meats), but both are definitely a better choice than beef! :)
Oh man, I'm going to have to wait until Wednesday to make this, but I'm ALL about the slow cooker recipes. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather, in sauce they taste the same.
ReplyDeleteI made this 2 nights ago.. it was deeeee-licious!!
ReplyDeleteI toasted a loaf of frozen garlic bread and opened a baggie of ready to eat salad.
Fastest "fancy" dinner ever!
