1 pound ground beef
1 small yellow onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
44 ounces tomato sauce (29 ounce and 15 ounce can of just tomato sauce, not spaghetti sauce with seasoning)
6 ounces tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (if you only have table salt, start with less)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 ounces lasagana noodles the regular kind, not the no boil kind
15 ounces ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
16 ounces mozzarella shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it begins to brown, breaking it up as you cook. Add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Drain the excess fat.
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, oregano, basil, and pepper to the meat mixture and set aside. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper to taste.
Set aside 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. This will be for topping at the end.
In a large bowl mix together the ricotto, eggs, and the remainder of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Spray your 6 to 8 quart crockpot with cooking spray. Add a ladle full of the sauce and meat mixture to the bottom. Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles. You will need to break them and rearrange them to fit. Top the noodles with some of the cheese mixture and then more sauce and meat. Repeat until you have used all the ingredients (save the set aside cheese). Top with the set aside cheese.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Cooking times on crockpots vary greatly. It was finished in my crockpot after four hours.
