Crockpot lasagna

Time is something that no one has a lot of and finding easy meals that cook without a lot of attention is something all of us can appreciate. Who doesn't love lasagna? It is, however, work-intensive. This recipe is the easiest one I have ever come up with and it tastes delicious. 

What you will need:
1 jar spaghetti sauce
16 oz. ricotta
8 oz mozzarella
1 12 oz jar roasted peppers
1 egg
1 pack no-boil lasagna noodles
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 lb Italian sausage

Remove the Italian sausage from its casing and fry. Drain the roasted peppers and add to the sausage. 

Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and beat in the one egg and the 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. 

Place some sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. Put a layer of lasagna noodles, spread several large scoops of ricotta on the noodles, top with some sausage and peppers, and more sauce. Add a handful of mozzarella. 

Repeat for as many layers as you have noodles for. You will be breaking some noodles to fit them in the pan. The top layer is sauce and mozzarella.

Put the crockpot on high and cook for 4-6 hours. If you are going to be gone longer, put it on low or medium for a longer cook. This may not be your nonnas lasagna but for busy working women this is a delicious family-friendly meal that makes sense. 

Serve with a salad and some garlic bread and enjoy the rave reviews.
