WW Crock Pot Lasagna

As some of you may know I started WW the end of March (after our brisket filled ten day extravaganza in Dallas and Austin) Not because I think I am huge, but I know its easier to loose weight when you are younger instead of putting it off. Id like to loose 20 lbs and have already lost 7.8. Boo ya. I really enjoy just being healthier and more fit. I have been trying a lot of new recipes that are healthier and this is one of our favorites.

Check it out.

  • 1 lb ground chicken

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed

  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese,

  • 6 lasagna noodles

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

  • box frozen chopped spinach thawed, drained, etc.




  • In a large skillet over medium high heat cook onion and garlic.

  • Then add in ground chicken and cook together.

  •  Stir in tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, spices,  Meanwhile in a small bowl combine ricotta, and 1 cup of the mozzarella. You can add spinach to cheese mix or sauce mix.






  • Spoon 1/3 of the tomato/beef mixture into crock pot. Break 3 lasagna noodles in half and arrange on top of tomato/beef mixture and top with half of the ricotta mixture. Repeat with second layer. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of the meat mixture.

  •  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours

  •  In a small bowl combine remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over meat mixture and set aside for 10 minutes or until cheese melts and lasagna is firm (10 minutes or so).


  • ENJOY!!!
