Step-by-Step Instructions
- Spray a large pot with olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add 1 pound of ground sirloin beef, seasoned with ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt, cooking until it's slightly browned, about 3–4 minutes.
- Toss in ½ medium diced onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic into the pot. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in 2 cans of crushed tomatoes and ¼ cup of water, intertwining every ingredient. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of cottage cheese, 2 beaten eggs, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella. Add ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley into the mixture.
- Spray your slow cooker with olive oil. Start layering: 1 cup of meat sauce, 3 uncooked noodles, then 1 cup of meat sauce and ⅓ of the cheese mixture. Repeat twice more.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours. Check noodles' tenderness at 3 hours.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top. Close the lid and cook for an additional 5–10 minutes, then let rest for 10 minutes.

Notes
Allow your slow cooker lasagna to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to hold its shape.
