Bucket Lasagna

List of Ingredients




Makes 6 frozen Crockpot Lasagna dinners. They can just be taken out in the morning and popped inside the crockpot. Set on low and forget it.


5 lbs hamburger
tomato sauce
spices, whatever you normally prefer
2 containers large size cottage cheese
4 eggs
salt
pepper
mozzarella cheese, shredded, at least 4-6 cups
2 packages lasagna noodles
6 ice cream buckets (good for 5qt.size crockpots, or any freezer/crockpot compatable one gallon containers


Recipe



Cook a large package of hamburger (approx 5 lbs), drain.

Place it back in the pan I cooked it in, (don't dirty another pan) and add tomato sauce and spices as you like it.

In another large bowl, mix two large containers of cottage cheese, four eggs, and salt and pepper.

A third bowl has a large quantity of shredded mozzarella.

Open two packages of lasagna noodles, either no-bake or regular. I prefer the regular, they are thicker--he no bake kinda disappear in my lasagna because they are so thin.

Place all the ingredient bowls and pans in a row on the counter.

Then I take 6 (one gallon) ice cream buckets or similar container.

Layer as follows: noodles, sauce, cheese and repeat til done.

That is it! You end up with six lasagnas, and only 3 dirty pans.

Freeze until completely solid. Then slip from the ice cream bucket and place in gallon Ziploc bags. Now store back in the freezer, this way takes up much less space. Using the ice cream bucket makes it the exact size and shape for a round 5 quart crockpot. You might find another container that works better for you.

When you decide to cook, just pop it in the crockpot on LOW all day.
