Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (24 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
1 cup zucchini, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain excess fat.
Add onions, garlic, and olive oil to the skillet and cook until softened.
Transfer beef mixture to crockpot.
Stir in tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, zucchini, carrots, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).
Before serving, add lasagna noodles, mozzarella, and milk to the pot. Cook on high for the last hour of cooking to soften noodles.
Stir in Parmesan cheese (if using) before serving.
Notes
Use uncooked noodles that work in slow cookers (check package directions).
Substitute lentils or Italian sausage (lamb/chicken) for a meat-free option.
Add spinach sautéed in garlic oil for extra veggies.
