SLOW-COOKER LASAGNA



Slow-Cooker Lasagna image

This Italian comfort food classic takes only 10 minutes to prep and needs no supervision to come together beautifully. Unlike time-consuming traditional versions, this recipe is so easy, there is no need to cook the noodles first. Two full layers of savory tomato sauce, rich cheese sauce and pasta present the perfect meal for a family dinner any night of the week. Paired with a crunchy and simple salad of lettuce, carrots, cucumber and tomatoes and topped with a light Italian vinaigrette, you will not have to call anyone to the table, they will be waiting. When the lasagna is fully cooked let it sit a few minutes before serving so it can firm up a bit. Leftovers are sure to be sought-after so making a double batch might be best.

WEIGHT WATCHERS SLOW COOKER LASAGNA



Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Lasagna image

BEST lasagna I've ever made. Two modifications - I use ground chicken and Italian Chicken Sausage (no casing), tho the sausage will impact points value. If you're looking to scale back points, consider whole wheat (or Ronzoni) noodles, or substitute thinly sliced eggplant or zucchini in stead of noodles.

Provided by Becky Wilder

Time 6h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground meat of your choice (i prefer chicken)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
28 oz can tomatoes, crushed
15 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano, dried
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1 c part skim ricotta
1 1/2 c part skim mozzarella
6 uncooked lasagna noodles (more or less to suit)
1/2 c parm, romano, or asiago cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, chicken sausage, onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes. I also add mushrooms after the meat browns, but that's optional. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes; simmer 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • 3. Spoon 1/3 of beef mixture into a 5-quart slow cooker. Break 3 lasagna sheets in half and arrange over beef mixture; top with half of ricotta mixture. Repeat with another layer and finish with remaining 1/3 of beef mixture.
  • 4. Cover slow cooker and cook on low setting for 4 to 6 hours. Remove cover; turn off heat and season to taste, if desired.
  • 5. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over beef mixture. Cover and set aside until cheese melts and lasagna firms up, about 10 minutes. Yields 1/6th of dish per serving.
  • 6. Notes: To boost your vegetable intake, add a can of zucchini in tomato sauce to the meat mixture. You can also add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms to meat mixture. I add the chicken sausage (Italian style) to the mixture to kick the flavor a little, but it's great without it too. Adding it will affect points value. Without it, this recipe is 10 points per serving.
