Slow Cooker Lasagna - Recipe Box

A friend at work gave me this recipe, so I am posting it on the blog for easy access later.  The blog is my recipe file box.

Ingredients:
1 lb. sweet italian sausage
1 26oz. jar chunky tomato, basil, and cheese pasta sauce (or any other sauce you like)
3/4 cup water
12 no boil lasagna noodles
1 15oz. container ricotta cheese
1 8oz package shredded italian blend cheese

Directions:
1.  Coat the inside of slow cooker with non stick spray.  In a large skillet, brown the sausage.  Drain off fat.  Stir in pasta sauce and water.
2.  Place 1/2 cup of meat mixture in the bottom of slow cooker.  Layer four noodles on top of meat (break noodles to fit).  Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, 1/3 of the remaining meat mixture, 1/3 of the shredded cheese.  Repeat layers twice starting with noodles and ending with meat mixture.  Set aside remaining cheese.
3. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high setting for 2-3 hours.
4. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
