▢ 1 lb ground beef
▢ 1 small yellow onion, diced
▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced
▢ 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
▢ 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
▢ 2 tablespoons tomato paste
▢ 4 cups beef broth

▢ 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

▢ Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
3. Transfer the beef mixture to your slow cooker. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
4. Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add to the slow cooker. Stir gently to distribute.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until noodles are tender.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
7. Optionally, top with a little more mozzarella and cover again until melted.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve hot.
Notes
You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or Italian sausage.
To save time, brown your meat the night before and store it in the fridge until morning.
