Helpful Tips About this Recipe
Makes 8 servings
Shopping Tips
Most supermarkets sell extra lean ground beef. I used the 96% lean ground beef from Trader Joe’s. Sometimes I use a grass fed 94% lean ground beef I buy at my local supermarket. You could also use ground turkey, if desired.
This recipe uses a total of 3½ cups jarred pasta sauce. I like Classico, Prego or Ragu. This recipe is so flexible. Use your favorite sauce that’s 1-2 grams of fat per serving. You’ll have some extra sauce. You can freeze it and use it later.
Prep Tips
You don’t need to use no-cook lasagna. Regular, uncooked lasagna noodles work just fine. The small amount of water is added to the crock-pot to help the lasagna noodles cook.
