1️⃣ Cook the Beef 🍳
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink 🍖.
Stir in Italian seasoning 🌿 for that rich, herby flavor.
2️⃣ Mix in the Sauce & Broth 🥫
Add the garlic herb spaghetti sauce 🍅 and beef broth 🥣 to the pan. Stir well, letting the flavors come together.
3️⃣ Make the Cheese Mixture 🧀
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese 🥛, the egg 🥚, and 1½ cups of the mozzarella 🧀. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Layer in the Crockpot 🫕
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.
Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles 🍝 (break to fit if needed).
Spread some cheese mixture on top 🧀.
Repeat layers: sauce → noodles → cheese, until all ingredients are used.
Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese 🧀🧀 on top.
5️⃣ Cook Slowly for Perfection ⏳
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or until noodles are tender and everything is bubbling with cheesy goodness 🤩.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy 🍽️
Scoop out generous portions, sprinkle with fresh basil 🌿 if desired, and serve hot.
✨ Tip: Pair with garlic bread 🥖 and a fresh salad 🥗 for the ultimate Italian-inspired dinner night!
