Slow Cooker Lasagne 🍲

2 hrs 45 mins

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 1 white onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 500g 5% fat beef mince
  • 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 300g fat-free cottage cheese
  • 120g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 50g mozzarella, grated
  • 220g fresh lasagne sheets

All the comfort of a classic lasagne, with less time spent in the kitchen. This slow cooker version is rich, cheesy and packed with flavour – just layer it up, let the slow cooker do its thing and come back to a delicious dinner.

Method

Place the oil, onion, garlic, carrot, mince, tomatoes and dried herbs into a large bowl and mix together until well combined.

In a separate bowl, stir together the cottage cheese and half of the cheeses.

Place a third of the mince into the bottom of the slow cooker then top with a third of the lasagne sheets. Repeat this two more times then spoon over the cottage cheese mix.

Scatter over the remaining grated cheese and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours.

If your slow cooker pot is oven safe, place your lasagne under the grill for a few minutes at the end of cooking to crisp up the top layer of cheese.

Tips

All slow cookers vary from each other and so might your cook times – always make sure any meat is hot throughout.
