What Ingredients do I need to make this Skinny Slow Cooker Lasagna?

• Lean ground beef- I use Laura’s Lean 96% ground beef. You can also use ground turkey or substitute 1/2 lb. with Italian sausage 
• Spices-  salt, ground black pepper, dry parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder
• Worcestershire sauce- gives the meat sauce some delicious flavor 
• White granulated sugar substitute -I use Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener)- helps balance the tomato sauce acidity by adding a bit 
• Cornstarch- thickens the sauce
• Tomato sauce-2 (15 oz.) cans
• Crushed tomatoes- 1 (28 oz.) can
• Lasagna noodles, uncooked-for this slow cooker lasagna you will need to use regular (dry not boiled) lasagna noodles. Do NOT use OVEN READY lasagna noodles.You will layer the lasagna noodles uncooked in your slow cooker. 
• Reduced fat mozzarella cheese- I use Market Pantry from Target
• Fat free cottage cheese
• Grated parmesan cheese

How long does this Skinny Slow Cooker Lasagna take to cook?

All slow cookers can vary in cooking temperatures. This slow cooker lasagna takes about 4 hours on low, but yours may cook a little faster or slower. I would check on it at about the 4 hour mark, so that it doesn’t overcook or dry out.

How do I make this Skinny Slow Cooker Lasagna?

Spray a large skillet with non stick cooking spray. Cook the lean ground beef over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks.

Add salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

In a medium mixing bowl combine tomato sauce, sugar substitute, and crushed tomatoes.

Whisk in 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Stir until well combined. 

Pour sauce mixture into the skillet with the meat. 

Stir and simmer 30 minutes. 

In a medium mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella, parmesan cheese and cottage cheese.

Stir until well combined.

Spray the bottom and sides of the slow closer with non stick cooking spray.

Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Arrange a few noodles to cover the sauce (you may need to break the noodles to fit) 

Top with 1 cup of meat sauce and cheese mixture. 

Make a second layer with noodles, another 1 cup of sauce, and cup of cheese mixture.

Repeat layers until the top is used with the remaining meat sauce. 

Then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the top and sprinkle a little dry parsley over the top, if desired. 

Cover and cook on low for about 4-5 hours or until noodles are tender.
