Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Sauces

  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes (canned)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Pasta and Cheese

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasonings

  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the meats: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to keep the soup from being too oily.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Combine ingredients in crock pot: Add the browned meats, sautéed onion and garlic, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the crock pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Add noodles: Add the broken lasagna noodles to the crock pot and gently stir once more to ensure the noodles are submerged in the liquid.
  5. Cook the soup: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or on high heat for 2 hours, until the noodles are tender and the flavors are well melded.
  6. Add cheeses and serve: Stir in the ricotta cheese until it melts throughout the soup. Serve topped with shredded mozzarella cheese for a creamy, cheesy finish.

Notes

  • Use mild or spicy Italian sausage based on your flavor preference.
  • Breaking the lasagna noodles helps mimic the layered texture of traditional lasagna.
  • Adjust salt carefully as canned tomatoes and broth already contain sodium.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef and sausage with plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
