• 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (your favorite)

• 8 lasagna noodles (uncooked)
• 1 (4 1/2 ounce) can mushrooms

• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Directions

1. 1

   Season ground beef with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook in a pan until done. (I drain off most of the fat).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix spaghetti sauce and water. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a greased crock pot, place 4 lasagna noodles on the bottom. Layer with 1/2 of sauce mixture, 1/2 of beef, and 1/2 of mushrooms.

4. 4

   Spread evenly over mixture the carton of ricotta cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

5. 5

   Place remaining 4 uncooked lasagna noodles on top. Layer remaining sauce mixture, beef, and mushrooms. Spread evenly 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.

6. 6

   Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.

7. 7

   Reduce heat and cook on low for 5 hours. (This time varies; a large crock pot will take longer to cook. The lasagna is done when the noodles are tender).
