Lasagna, in a Crockpot

• 1 lb Ground Beef (85% lean)
• 1 lb Italian Sausage
• 1 lb Lasagna Noodles, uncooked
• 28 oz Can Tomato sauce
• 6 oz can tomato paste
• 12 oz Ricotta Chesse
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (or more to taste)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 clove Garlic, finely chopped (we love garlic in our family, and are afraid of vampires. If you must reduce volume of garlic, do so-but at your own peril).
• 1 lb Mozzarella shredded
• 33/100 cup Bacon Grease (secret ingredient)
• 2 tbsp Oregano
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Ground Black Pepper

1. Melt 1/3 cup bacon grease in large pan with lid on medium heat.
2. Brown Sausage and Ground Beef (the bacon grease will make it much easier to break up the beef and sausage while browning.
3. can be omitted, but does add flavor!).
4. When almost browned add garlic and onions.
5. Cook until onions softened.
6. Add Tomato sauce, paste, and spices.
7. Stir well.
8. Cover with lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
9. Combine Ricotta and Parmesan in bowl.
10. Mix well.
11. Layer sauce, cheese mixture, and noodles in crockpot, breaking up noodles if necessary to fit.
12. Start with Sauce!
13. Save some sauce to put over last layer of noodles.
14. Cover with Mozzarella cheese.
15. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
16. Serve hot and enjoy!
17. LOVE to serve with bread sticks or garlic bread.
