Crock Pot Baked Ziti
  1. Brown the ground beef or sausage with the onion in a nonstick skillet, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.

  2. Add the garlic, seasonings, pasta sauce, and tomato sauce and set aside.

  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, egg, basil, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

  4. Pour ⅓ of the sauce into the bottom of a greased 6-quart slow cooker.

  5. Scatter ⅓ of the uncooked ziti on top followed by ½ of the ricotta cheese mixture.

  6. Repeat with another layer of sauce, ziti, and all of the remaining ricotta mixture.

  7. Top with remaining ziti and sauce.

  8. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 ½ hours or on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.

  9. Remove the lid and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

  10. Cover just long enough to melt the cheese.

  11. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
