Dinner WIN.

Twice this last week I had a dinner win. This makes me feel awesome.
The first one was french bread pizza - which requires no recipe, but the second was this:

Slow Cooker Ground Beef Lasagna Soup - Aka, Lasagna Soup.

- 1 lb. ground beef (we have ground elk... cause its free, and delicious)
- 1 onion, chopped (we don't really choose to eat onions - I used a handful of dehydrated chopped onions)
- 10 3/4 oz. tomato soup, canned, condensed
- 14.5 oz. tomatoes, canned, petite diced
- 15 oz. tomato sauce, canned
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 4 c. water
- 1 1/2 tsp. oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp. basil
- 1 tsp. parsley
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 8 oz. Ricotta Cheese
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces - UNCOOKED (I may or may not have used 7... or 9. I lost count.)
- 12 oz. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Combine onions, tomato soup, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and place in the slow cooker.

Add all of the spices and bouillon cubes to the slow cooker.

Add water and spread your broken UNCOOKED lasagna noodle pieces all around. (do not use no-bake noodles, make sure they are regular lasagna noodles.)

Crumble RAW ground beef over top.

Cover. Cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High for 4-5 hours.

Approximately half hour or so before done, stir in the Ricotta cheese.

Serve with shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top

DELICIOUS. Matthew liked it, took leftovers for lunch and said I could make it again. That, in itself is a triple win. Matthew is a picky eater - for that I blame his mother. I really do, and I'm not even sorry. So when I can find something that he eats and would eat again, W.I.N. Lincoln even liked it.

  1. Rude! I promise he was made to eat everything we ate growing up. I wasn't as nice as you. Didn't cater to him at all. But we'll have to try your soup. Sounds yummy. And I'm glad you won with it even if you are RUDE!
