The ingredients for Crock Pot Meat Lasagna are:

For the Meat Layer:
1 lb. ground beef (90/10)
1/2 lb. hot sausage
3/4 onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
24 oz. jar of pasta sauce
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tsp dried oregano and basil (optional)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Ricotta Layer:
25 oz. part-skim ricotta
1 extra large egg
1 tbs. basil
3 tbs. grated parmesan

Additional Ingredients:
24 oz. jar of pasta sauce (for the top and bottom)
16 oz. fresh mozzarella (or 2 cups)
1 package no-boil lasagna noodles
grated parmesan
salt and pepper

Here is how you make Crock Pot Meat Lasagna:

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, onions and bell peppers. Add the pressed garlic and saute for an additional minute. Then, add one jar of pasta sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes. Taste the meat mixture and add any additional seasonings.*In a medium mixing bowl, add the ricotta, egg, basil, parmesan, and mix well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.In a large, 6-quart crockpot, add a cup or two of the pasta sauce from the second jar. Add just enough to cover the bottom. Add the noodles, being careful not to overlap them. You may need to break the noodles apart to make them fit. Next, add repeating layers of ricotta (use about 1/3 of the total ricotta in each layer), mozzarella, meat sauce, and noodles. Top with remaining pasta sauce and mozzarella. Grate parmesan over the top of the lasagna.Cook in the crock pot over low heat for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. If cooked any longer, the lasagna has the tendency to dry out. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. This will ensure that the lasagna holds its shape. Enjoy!Serving Size:?makes 8 large servings
