Slow cooker lasagna! Weight Watchers Addition!

* I made this for my family & didn't tell them it was a low fat Weight Watchers version lasagna. They loved it, my brother even got seconds. After dinner I told them it was low fat & they couldn't believe it, it was that good.*



1 lbs lean ground meat or turkey ( I used ground meat)
1 small onion chopped
1 garlic clove minced
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 tsp salt  
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese  
1 1/2 cups reduced fat mozzarella cheese
6 no cook lasagna noodles
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1) in a saucepan brown meat, add onions and garlic

2) after your meat & onions are cooked add tomato sauce, tomatoes, oregano, basil and salt to the meat. Lower heat for 5 minutes and stir frequently.

3) In a separate bowl combine ricotta, & mozzarella cheese, mix & set aside

4) Divide the meat mixture into thirds. Place 1/3 meat/tomato sauce on bottom of slow cooker. Cover the meat with 3 of the no cook noodles ( you can break them in half to make them fit better. Then spread half of the cheese mixture over noodles. Add another 1/3 of meat sauce over cheese. Cover again with 3 remaining noodles. Cover with remaining cheese mixture followed by remaining sauce. Place lid on cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

5) turn off cooker & add parm cheese ( this is optional, you do not have to add parm cheese serve it on the side or no at all) put lid on & let melt for 5 or so minutes. Serve.
