WW Slow Cooker Lasagna

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or I used lean ground turkey)
  • 1 onions chopped
  • 1 clove garlic (I LOVE garlic, I used a couple)
  • 1 16oz can tomato sauce 
  • 1 28oz can crushed tomato (I used 16 oz can of diced)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (low fat)
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded and low fat)
  • no cook lasagna noodles (about 6)
  • 1/2 Parmesan cheese (shredded)
Directions:

  1. Saute onion, meat, and garlic in skillet until fully cooked. mixed diced tomato in, then set aside.
  2. In a bowl mix ricotta cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese
  3. Spoon 1/3 meat mixture on the bottom of the slow cooker
  4. Add some of the tomato sauce
  5. Layer that with 3 uncooked lasagna noodle (break to fit)
  6. Add 1/3 of ricotta cheese mixture to the layer
  7. Repeat the steps again, until all ingredients are used (you should still have 1/2 cup of mozzarella set aside)
  8. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  9. Turn off heat, add that remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese to top, recover.. remove pot from crock pot and set aside until cheese melts and Lasagna firms (about 10 minutes)
Now Enjoy!!! it was so good! I never cooked lasagna in a slow cooker, and was not to sure about how it would turn out, but it was amazing!  I'm a full time working mom, so lasagna has never been a week night meal, it takes to long, but now it is!! 
This makes 6 pieces about 10 points per slice, If you use ground beef, which I did not.. so Im sure the point value is lower the way I made it.
