Why I Love This Recipe


Ingredients You'll Need

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion
2 tsps. dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
2 jars (apx. 25 oz. each) pasta sauce
1 container (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 box (10 oz.) ziti noodles


Directions

Cook ground beef and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink.


Stir in seasonings to evenly coat meat; stir in pasta sauce.


Set aside.


Mix 1 cup mozzarella, the ricotta and Parmesan in a medium bowl.


Spoon 2 cups of meat sauce into 5 - 6 qt. slow cooker.


Top with 2 cups ziti.


Drop half of the cheese mixture, by rounded tablespoons, over ziti; carefully spread over ziti using back of spoon.


Layer with 2 cups meat sauce, the remaining ziti and remaining cheese.


Add remaining meat sauce, completely covering all the ziti and cheese.
