Lasagne in a Crockpot
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
2 cans Hunts or Delmonte spaghetti sauce (yes, this is cheating)
4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
12 American cheese slices
2 lbs pasta, I use rotini -the corkscrew pasta
Add the pasta to boiling salted water and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the pasta to cool and stop the cooking process. Set aside to drain well.
Brown the hamburger and the onion in a skillet. Drain well. Set aside to cool.
When cooled add the pasta, hamburger mixture and sauce in a large pan combining well.
Divide in half. Place each half in a 1 gallon freezer bag. Place 2 cups of the mozzarella in a small freezer bag as well as 6 cheese slices. In a 2 gallon freezer bag place 1 each of these bags all inside. Lable: "Crockpot Lasagne". Place in your freezer. This is 2 separate lasagne meals stashed for later.
When ready to cook, thaw 1 of the meals in the refrigerator.
Spray the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Add one half the meat and pasta mixture, layer on 3 of the cheese slices and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the other half.
Cook on low for 2 hours. Serve with a nice green salad and bread.
