My favorite part about ground beef dinners is that I always have about 10-20lbs of pre-cooked ground beef in my freezer. (If you aren’t sure how to best do this, check out my post-> here that walks you through how to do it) This saves on prep-time and with the crockpot, I can drop it in frozen or quick defrost and drop it in.
Crockpot Lasagna Soup:
- 1 Lb Ground Beef
- 1 Package Lasagna Noodles
- 1/2 Onion Diced
- 1 Red Pepper Diced
- 14.5 Oz Can Diced Tomatoes
- 28 Oz Crushed Tomatoes
- 6 Cups Beef Broth
- 1/2 Jar Spaghetti Sauce
- Ricotta Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Italian Seasoning
How To Make Crock Pot Lasagna Soup:
Start by cooking your ground beef if you need to and drain to remove the grease. Or if you have the ground beef prepped beforehand, defrost so you can put it in the crockpot.
Next, spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray or put it in a crockpot liner bag. (If you didn’t know the liners are a thing for easy clean up grab some -> here on Amazon) (I also used an 8 Quart Crockpot to make mine in like this one -> here)
Chop up your onion and dice your pepper. You can choose to leave these out if you think your kids won’t eat them. I leave my cut veggies big enough for the kids to pick around if they don’t like them, but the flavor is added for everyone.
Now, start by spreading your ground beef out in your crockpot.
Next, spread out your chopped onion and peppers on top of the layer of ground beef in your crockpot.
Open your can of tomatoes and use a spatula to drop the entire can contents into the crockpot, you will want the juices from the cans in as well.
Next, pour in your beef broth and the half jar of spaghetti sauce. You can add more broth and sauce to make everything more soupier or thinner.
Add in the amount of seasoning you want, you can do this as heavy or light as you want.
*You will use the Lasagna noodles and the cheeses later on*
Mix everything that is in the crockpot and turn the crockpot on low.
Allow to cook for about four hours; you can stir it every so often or allow the crockpot to cook as-is.
About the four-hour mark break, the lasagna noodles in a ziplock bag. I let one of the kids do this with a meat tenderizer.
Stir your crockpot and drop in your broken noodles lasagna and turn your crockpot to high.
*If you need to, you can add more broth or spaghetti sauce at this point if you think you had to broth much to evaporate or cook off.*
Allow everything to cook for about 30 to 45 minutes until your noodles are fully cooked. Be sure to stir occasionally to make sure the noodles cook.
Serve into a bowl and top with a dollop of Ricotta Cheese, sprinkle with Mozzarella, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Allow to sit for a couple of minutes to steam and melt the cheese.
Stir and enjoy!!
