Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1 pound ground beef choose lean for less grease
  • 0.5 medium onion finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
Sauce
  • 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cups beef broth use low sodium if preferred
Pasta
  • 12 oz lasagna noodles broken into smaller pieces
Cheese Topping
  • 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, stirring to break apart. Drain excess grease.
  2. Transfer the cooked beef to a six-quart slow cooker. Add diced onion and chopped red bell pepper.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning until well combined.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
  5. 30–45 minutes before serving, break lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on high for another 30–45 minutes, until noodles are tender but not mushy.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with a tablespoon of ricotta cheese, then sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan over each serving.

Notes

For a richer broth, add a parmesan rind at the start of cooking and remove before serving. To avoid mushy noodles in leftovers, cook noodles separately and add before serving. Customize with veggies like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrition.
