Method
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain excess grease.
- Transfer the browned beef to your 6-quart crockpot. Add diced onion, red bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- After cooking, break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the crockpot. Cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes until noodles are tender.
- Ladle into bowls and top each serving with ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
Swap ground beef with turkey or vegetarian crumble for a lighter version. Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months. Reheat gently with added broth to restore consistency.
