"I have never found a lasagna recipe easier than this one. I serve this with a side green salad, garlic toast, and a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top. It is also a hit among kids! Note: I would avoid using whole wheat noodles, as they turn out too hard and chewy in this preparation."

ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt (to taste)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (your favorite)
¹⁄₃ cup water
8 lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can mushrooms
1 (15 ounce) carton ricotta cheese (you may subsitute small curd cottage cheese)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

directions

Season ground beef with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook in a pan until done. (I drain off most of the fat).
In a small bowl, mix spaghetti sauce and water. Set aside.
In a greased crock pot, place 4 lasagna noodles on the bottom. Layer with 1/2 of sauce mixture, 1/2 of beef, and 1/2 of mushrooms.
Spread evenly over mixture the carton of ricotta cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Place remaining 4 uncooked lasagna noodles on top. Layer remaining sauce mixture, beef, and mushrooms. Spread evenly 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
Reduce heat and cook on low for 5 hours. (This time varies; a large crock pot will take longer to cook. The lasagna is done when the noodles are tender).
