\u00a0Usually I use 85% ground beef for a mix of fat and flavor. \u00a0Sometimes I even mix 85% with 90% for hamburgers. \u00a0Usually I would not use such a low fat ground beef as it can really get dried out, but there are so many other ingredients that keep the meat moist and flavorful in this crockpot &#8211; and the worst thing in the world is oily lasagna in my opinion! \u00a0And with it being in a crockpot, oily is a definite possibility &#8211; BUT, this recipe turned out beautifully! \u00a0Add a salad and call it a day! \u00a0Enjoy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>INGREDIENTS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 LB. lean ground beef (I used 90% to avoid an oily crockpot, usually I use higher fat ground beef for other tasks like hamburgers etc).<\/li>\n<li>1 onion chopped**<\/li>\n<li>2 garlic cloves, smashed**<\/li>\n<li>1 (28 oz) can tomato sauce<\/li>\n<li>1 (6oz) can tomato paste (I used the one with basil and added spices)<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 tsp. salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. dried oregano<\/li>\n<li>12 oz. cottage cheese (I used Breakstone&#8217;s 2%, again to avoid an overly-fatty, oily mess)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup grated Parmesan or 1\/2 cup Asiago cheese (I used the grated cheese in the bag)<\/li>\n<li>12 oz. lasagna noodles, uncooked<\/li>\n<li>16 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese (I used slightly less)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>**Because of allergies, I used onion and garlic powder as replacements, not onion salt and garlic salt, that would be overkill in the salt dept.!
