READER RECIPE SUNDAY

CROCKPOT LASAGNE
Thanks to Donna Murphy of Orlando Florida for this delicious recipe. I made it for dinner last night and not only did it taste great, my kitchen stayed cool!

Approx 3 cups favorite spaghetti sauce
8 oz box of oven ready(no boil) lasagna noodles
13 oz container of ricotta cheese
8 oz bag of shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese

Spray inside of crock pot with Pam. Cover bottom of crock pot with 1 cup of sauce. Add a layer of noodles next, breaking up the noodles so that the area is covered. Layer 1/3 cup of sauce, 1/3 cup of ricotta, 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat noodles, sauce, ricotta, shredded cheese until ricotta is gone. Top layer will be noodles, 1 cup of sauce and 1/3 cup shredded cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 - 4 hours.

You can add browned hamburger to the spaghetti sauce if you wish. Or for a vegetarian version, add a few layers of spinach.
