Instructions

1 Start by cooking the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat. Place the oil
in the skillet first and get it to temperature before adding the onion and
cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for a
minute or two to release the fragrance and flavor. Next, add in the beef and
season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Crumble and cook the beef until
it is golden brown. Then stir in 3 cups of the marinara sauce and cook for 3-4
minutes so that the flavors begin to combine.
2 In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, and parsley together until
combined. Then season with salt and pepper and give another good stir to mix.
Now you're ready to begin layering your lasagna. You can use a crockpot liner as
mentioned above, or you can grease your crockpot with cooking spray. Once you
have that figured out, start by spreading the remaining marinara on the bottom
of the crockpot. Then layer noodles, meat, and mozzarella followed by a layer of
the ricotta mixture. Continue this pattern until you've used up all of your
ingredients. End with a layer of mozzarella cheese over the top.
3 Then cover and cook the lasagna for 4-5 hours on LOW until the noodles are
softened and the cheese is bubbly. Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley before
serving.
