Crockpot lasagna

In college I was famous for my crockpot lasagna (right, Katy?).  I always got requests to make it and sometimes I still get emails from friends asking for the recipe.  Well, here it is!  It’s SOOOO easy and OMG so good!  Just thinking about this as I type about it makes me want some so bad! lol 

Like I said a few days ago, when I come up with something on my own I don’t really “measure” my ingredients.  I just eyeball it.  Just so you know.

Ingredients:
Box of lasagna noodles (I like whole wheat)
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce (I like the classico florentine spinach and cheese)
1 can diced tomatoes, mostly drained (leave a little of the liquid)
1 1/2 – 2 ish cups mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Brown the ground turkey in kindof a bigger pan.  When the meat is browned, add the pasta sauce and the tomatoes.

Spray your crockpot or put in a liner (those things are a Godsend!).  Put a couple big spoonfuls of the meat/sauce in the bottom. 

Then layer in the noodles(yes, dry!  you DON’T need to cook the noodles, they will cook from the liquid in the sauce I promise!!).  You will have to break up the noodles a bit because crockpots are round or oval and the noodles are rectangular.

Then top those noodles with some more sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.  Keep layering until you run out of sauce (you probably won’t need the whole box of noodles).  The top layer should have lots of sauce and lots of cheese.

I usually put my crockpot on low and just let it go for a while.  Mine runs a bit hot so it only takes 3-4 hrs on low.

I hope you enjoy this.  If you become famous for this lasagna make sure to give me my props!  (lol, j/k!!)
