Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef/turkey we prefer turkey
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced or 1 tsp of prepared garlic
- 29 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 C water this can be optional depending on the consistency and how long you cook it
- 1 tsp oregano
- 8 oz package of lasagna noodles uncooked
- 4 cups 16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1- 1/2 cups 12 oz small curd cottage cheese (I use fat free)
- 1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook meat, onion, and garlic together in saucepan until browned. Drain.
- Stir in tomato sauce, water, salt, and oregano into saucepan. Mix well.
- Spray cooking pan or spring pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread one fourth of meat sauce. Arrange one third of noodles over sauce. You will have to break noodles to fit into Crock Pot.
- Combine the cheeses & spoon one third of mixture over noodles.
- Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining meat sauce.
- Cover with lid or sprayed tin foil if you are using a spring pan. Add one cup of cold water to the inside of your instant pot. Place pan inside pot resting on a trivet. Cook on Manual high pressure for 24 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes.Release pressure and let it slowly release the extra pressure. Use hot mitts to remove pan using the handles of the trivet.Add a layer of cheese on the top, I used a bowl and flipped it upside down over the pan to melt the cheese. It took a couple of minutes.
- Note: if you do not have all of the ingredients you need to make the marinara sauce you can simply replace step two with pouring in your favorite marinara sauce. It would probably take an entire jar.
- This recipe can a lot of times taste better the next day heated up in the microwave. It may be best to turn off the heat and let the juices settle 15-20 minutes before serving. ENJOY!
