Instructions

Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is cooked through and the onion softens. Drain excess fat.
Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the Crockpot.
Add beef broth, crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, add broken lasagna noodles. Stir to submerge them in the broth.
Continue cooking on high for 20-30 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Stir in ricotta and shredded mozzarella, then cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef for sautéed vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Fresh herbs like parsley, oregano, or thyme can enhance the flavor.

For a different cheese profile, try swapping ricotta or mozzarella for parmesan or provolone.
