I made this recipe for a crockpot cooking contest. I didn't even get an honorable mention but mine was the first one gone and every time there is a potluck I get asked to bring this. Go figure. Hope y'all enjoy it.

1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (29 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 package (8 oz) lasagna noodles
4 cups (16 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) ricotta cheese or small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, water, tomato paste, salt and oregano; mix well. Spread 1/4 of mixture in bottom of ungreased 5-qt crockpot or slow cooker. Arrange noodles over sauce (break the noodles as necessary). Combine the cheeses; spoon 1/3 of mixture over noodles. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining meat sauce. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until noodles are tender. Serves 6-8.

Tip: You can substitute 2 lg jars of Ragu (any flavor) for the tomato sauce, water and tomato paste. Also like all good lasagna , this is better the next day. I have made this the day before and just reheated in the crock.
