Preparation

First, pour spaghetti sauce into a bowl and add 1/3 cup of water. Then grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking oil or spray. Brown ground beef in skillet, then add entire container of ricotta cheese to beef, stir in.

Start layering in crockpot - sauce first, then beef/ricotta mixture, noodles (uncooked - you'll have to break them up and layer... they will cook in sauce), sauce and cheese. Keep layering until you've used all of your beef/ricotta. Top with cheese last.

Turn on low for 4 - 4.5 hours.
