Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 4 cups beef broth (1 carton)
• 12 oz lasagna noodles
• ½ cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brown the beef
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
   • Drain excess grease and transfer the cooked beef into a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Add vegetables and sauces
   • Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes to the slow cooker.
   • Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning to infuse that classic lasagna flavor.
3. Add broth and slow cook
   • Pour in the beef broth.
   • Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
   • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
   • This long simmering time allows the flavors to develop beautifully.
4. Add lasagna noodles
   • Break the lasagna noodles into bite-sized pieces (do this directly over the crock pot so small bits fall in too).
   • Stir them into the soup.
   • Cover and cook on HIGH for 30–45 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
5. Serve and top with cheese
   • Spoon the hot soup into bowls.
   • Top each serving with:
     • A tablespoon of ricotta cheese
     • A handful of shredded mozzarella
     • A sprinkle of parmesan cheese
   • Let the cheeses melt slightly before serving for the perfect creamy, cheesy finish.

Pro Tips

• Make it creamy: Stir a few spoonfuls of ricotta directly into the soup before serving for an extra rich, velvety texture.
• Add vegetables: You can toss in spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra nutrition and color.
• Use pasta alternatives: Try bow-tie or rotini pasta if you don’t have lasagna noodles on hand.
• Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5–7 days. The soup reheats well on the stovetop or in the microwave.
