Next time I make it I will include an additional can of crushed tomatoes. Here's the recipe in case you can't read it in the photo:
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed (we used chicken sausage, cuz that's what Trader Joe's had)
1 pound ground beef sirloin
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, finely chopped (the kids didn't even know there was a veggie hiding inside)
2 garlic cloves, minced
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes in puree
9 large lasagna noodles
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella (8 ounces)
Cook the sausage and beef over medium high, breaking up meat with a spoon until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomato paste, then tomatoes; bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Spoon 2 cups meat mixture into bottom of a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Layer 3 noodles (breaking them as needed to fit), 2 cups meat mixture and 1/2 cup cheese; repeat with two more layers (refrigerate 1/2 cup cheese for topping.
Cover slow cooker, and cook on low 4 to 6 hours. Sprinkle lasagna with 1/2 cup cheese. Cover until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Serves 8. Prep time 25 min.
