~ Slow Cooker Lasagna ~

My favorite dinner of all time is lasagna. I have it every birthday without fail. Over the years, I have tried to master lasagna, and although mine will never be as good as my Mum's, After piecing together a few different recipes,I have found a version that I love, and bonus like making. It is quick, easy, and basically fool proof. 

Ingredients 
*2lbs of ground beef or turkey.
*2 jars of your favorite spaghetti sauce
*ricotta cheese
*cottage cheese
(I use the big container of ricotta and the medium size container of cottage)
*2 cups of mozarella cheese
*sour cream
*1 bag of spinach
*1 box of lasagna noodles (NOT the oven ready kind)

*To make the red sauce : simply brown your meat, strain, and stir in your spaghetti sauce.

*To make the cheese mixter : in a medium bowl combine the ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, 1 cup of mozarella cheese, and two generous spoonfuls of sour cream (if you love or hate sour cream feel free to add more or take away altogether.)

Assembly
 (I always begin by spraying my slow cooker with cooking spray)

1. On the bottom of your slow cooker add a small layer of red sauce. 

2. Add a layer of noodles.

3. Add a fourth of your red sauce 

4. Add a third of your spinach

5. Add a third of your cheese mixture

6. Add a layer of noodles and
repeat red sauce, spinach, cheese mixture, 

7. Add a layer of noodles and
repeat red sauce, spinach, cheese mixture

8. Add a layer of noodles

9, Add your final fourth of red sauce

10. Top with 1 cup of mozarella cheese

cook on low for 3-4 hours
