Crockpot Lasagna

I have always been a little skeptical of crockpot lasagna recipes.  I love lasagna and I thought throwing everything in a crockpot would just make it soupy and overcooked.  I was totally wrong.  I tried this recipe from Tasty Kitchen and it was delicious and so easy.  I chose to eat this over going out to a restaurant for my birthday. 

1 pound Lean Ground Beef
1 jar Spaghetti Sauce
2 cups Cottage Cheese
2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese  (I used a cheddar jack blend)
½ cups Parmesan Cheese, Shredded
6 whole Lasagna Noodles, Regular, Uncooked  (I used 8 noodles)
¼ cups Water

In frying pan, brown ground beef and drain fat.  Add water and pasta sauce, reserving a small amount of sauce to line bottom of crock pot. Stir until well blended.  Line bottom of crock pot with very thin layer of sauce, then top with 2-3 uncooked lasagna noodles that are broken to fit shape (some overlap is fine). Cover noodles with half the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese, then top cheeses with half of the meat mixture. Repeat layers with the other half of the ingredients. Cook on low for 4 hours.
