Brandi's Slow Cooker Lasagna

I love making lasagna, but I don't that often because it takes so long to bake. I made this recipe up for the slow cooker. It was amazing! You can add whatever meat or veggies you want.

Brandi's Slow Cooker Lasagna

1 box no boil lasagna noodles
1 lb. ground chicken
1 lb. ground italian sausage
2 cans tomato sauce (26 oz. each)
2 cans diced tomatoes
carrots diced
green peppers diced
spinach (optional)
16 oz. ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you like

Cook ground turkey and italian sausage with seasonings of your choice. Meanwhile mix tomato sauce, tomatoes, seasonings, carrots, green peppers, and spinach. In a separate bowl mix together the cheeses. Pour some sauce in bottom of slow cooker. Top with noodles, meat, cheese, sauce. Repeat layers three times ending with sauce on top to ensure all noodles are cooked. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. This is great to freeze and for left overs.
