Let's face it...sometimes I get lazy..yup, I said it. Laaaaaazzy! That's why I love my slow cooker sooooo much. I can be lazy and it still looks like I've put great effort into a meal. My daughter requested lazagna this evening. SOOO much effort..right? So I used my slow cooker to take up the slack. It took 20 min and the sauce will be ready in 4 hours. I threw in most of the usual suspects...onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Followed by 1lb ground beef and squeezed the meat out of 6 mild italian sausages and chopped the meat with a spoon so it wouldn't have all those chunks. Next, a large can of diced tomatoes, equal amount of water, a little sugar and some oregano. Gave it a stir and put it on. You could add in some broken up lazagna noodles right there and then and really take the effort out but I'm going to do an assembley job later with some mozzerella, parm and cottage cheese...My Mum always used cottage cheese instead of ricotta and it's kinda stuck. Whaddya think?
