Producer Emilie’s Crock Pot Lasagna
1 lb ground beef
1 jar (regular size) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1 pkg (2 cups) Italian cheeses
1 egg
1 box frozen spinach, thawed and drained (I put in strainer and pressed the water out of it)
1 container (reg size) fresh mushrooms
lasagna noodles
Brown and season meat in large skillet; drain. Put back in pan and add spaghetti sauce and water. Keep warm. In a bowl, mix ricotta, 1 1/2 cups of Italian cheese, spinach and egg. I seasoned this cheese mixture b/c ricotta can taste bland to me. I used some salt, pepper and garlic powder (I used these three to also season the meat). Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray. Spoon 1 cup meat sauce into slow cooker (just want to make sure the bottom of slow cooker is covered); top with layers of the noodles (broken to fit) and HALF of the cheese mixture. Cover with sliced mushrooms and 2 cups meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles (broken to fit), the last half of cheese mixture and meat sauce. Cover with lid.
Cook on low 3-4 hours. I have a large crock pot, so mine only need 3 hours and then I just kept it warm till we were ready to eat. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; let stand, covered 10 min or until melted.

1 package pasta (angel hair, fettucini or spaghetti)
2/3 of an 8 oz container parm/romano cheese
1 (16 oz) container heavy cream
1-2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
1-1 1/2 cup chicken broth
pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and rosemary to taste
Cook the bacon first, saving the drippings. Brown the chicken with seasonings and 1/2 of the bacon drippings. Set aside when cooked through, careful not to overcook chicken. Put pasta on to boil. To make the sauce, add the heavy cream, other half of bacon drippings, parm cheese, 1/4 cup chicken broth, more seasonings. Be careful if you choose to use any salt because the cheese and the bacon have a lot of salt. Cook over low to medium heat until bubbly. Stir until done. Be careful not to burnt he sauce. When the noodles are done, drain them and add a pat or two of butter to keep the noodles from sticking. Throw all ingredients together: pasta, crumbled bacon, sauce, chicken and add rest of chicken broth to desired consistency if needed. The dish will thicken upon standing.
