This Easy Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup captures all the classic flavors of lasagna—savory beef, rich tomato sauce, and creamy ricotta—without the effort of layering. Simply slow-simmer and serve.
1 pound ground beef
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (32 ounce) carton beef broth
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
5 lasagna noodles, broken
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 dollops ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Crumble ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir for 5 minutes until browned. Drain fat.
2. Place beef in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add bell pepper, onion, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours.
4. Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook on Low until noodles are tender, about 45 minutes more.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Ladle into bowls and top each with mozzarella and a dollop of ricotta cheese.
Wait to add the noodles until the last 45 minutes to prevent them from getting mushy.
For extra flavor, swap half the beef for Italian sausage.
Store leftovers in an airtight container; note that noodles will absorb more liquid as they sit.
