This lasagna is another recipe I cooked in my new Cuisinart MSC-800 Cook Central 4-in-1 Multi-Cooker, 7 quart. It was delicious. My daughter and I ate dinner twice, and I had two lunches from this recipe. It makes a good bit. It’s easy and delicious – even better the second day.

Slow Cooker Lasagna

Serving Size:
6-8 servings
Time:
Difficulty:
Easy

Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 28-oz jar spaghetti sauce of your choice – I like Ragu, but any kind will work
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Brown and drain ground beef. My Cuisinart MSC-800 Cook Central 4-in-1 Multi-Cooker, 7 quart has a browning feature, so I brown mine right in the slow cooker.
  2. Break lasagna noodles in half and place half of them on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Stir onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the ground beef.
  4. Pour half of the ground beef onto the noodles in the slow cooker.
  5. Layer half the sauce and water, followed by half of the cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Repeat layers.
  7. Put lid on slow cooker and cook for 4-5 hours on low heat. Do not cook for more than 5 hours.

I bought this amazing

Slow Cooker Caramel Biscuits

Serving Size:
1 biscuit
Time:
3 hours
Difficulty:
Easy

Ingredients

  • 16 oz canned biscuits – 1 16 oz can or 2 8 oz cans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 Tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Melt butter. My new slow cooker has a saute feature, so I just melted the butter right in there.
  2. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Dip biscuit in butter and then in cinnamon and sugar mixture, and add to slow cooker.
  4. Cook on low for 3 hours.

    Note: Next time, I might cut the biscuits into quarters. They were delicious whole, but they might be even more delicious in smaller pieces.
