Slow Cooker Nachos Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine beef and taco seasoning in a large skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place refried beans in a small saucepan and heat over low heat, covered, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Spread a thin layer of salsa on the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer half of the crushed chips, seasoned beef, beans, corn, olives, and cheese on top. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, starting with salsa and ending with cheese.
• Bake nacho lasagna in the oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line 4 rimmed baking sheets with wire racks.
• For the lasagna chips: Bring a large pasta pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Cook the lasagna noodles 2 minutes shy of the package directions. Drain the noodles and immediately plunge them into the ice water. Drain the noodles, put them on the prepared baking sheets and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the noodles into triangles using kitchen scissors so they resemble tortilla chips.
• Put the oil and 2 tablespoon water in a large bowl. Add the lasagna chips and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and toss until evenly coated. Put the coated lasagna chips on the prepared baking sheets. Broil in batches until golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
• For the Bolognese sauce: Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or braiser over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the onion, carrots, celery and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Stir the vegetable mixture into the ground beef, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and add the thyme sprigs. To deglaze the Dutch oven, add the wine, scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon and cook for 30 seconds before stirring in the tomato puree. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat, stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the bechamel: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and thyme leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook until the mixture bubbles, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook over low heat until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the fontina.
• For the spicy pesto: Combine the walnuts and garlic in a mortar and pestle and pound to a paste. Add the basil leaves, a handful at a time, grinding down to a paste with each addition. Add the cheese and drizzle in the Calabrian chili oil and olive oil. Season with salt and combine well until emulsified.
• To serve, put the lasagna chips on a large serving platter, then top with the Bolognese sauce, Bechamel and Spicy Pesto.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
• Stir in the taco seasoning and ½ cup ( Pace® Picante Sauce until well combined, then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat.)
• In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, ½ cup (55 G) shredded Mexican cheese, and ¼ cup crema.
• To assemble the lasagna, spread 1½ cups (225 G) of the seasoned beef in the baking dish, then dollop ¾ cup (180 G) of the ricotta mixture and ½ cup (120 G) of the refried beans on top. Cover with a third of the tortilla chips, pressing down gently to nestle the chips into the filling. Drizzle the chips with ½ cup (168 g) Pace® Picante Sauce, and 1 cup (100 G) Mexican cheese. Repeat to make 2 more layers, using 1 cup (336 G) Pace® Picante Sauce and 1½ cups (150 G) Mexican cheese for the final layer of each.
• Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the layers have melted together and the cheese on top is browned.
• Drizzle the lasagna with the Pace® Chunky Salsa, remaining 2 tablespoons crema, the jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until brown. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, and oregano and stir until well incorporated. Cook until heated through.
• In a large bowl mix together the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Spoon a layer of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Break to fit noodles into slow cooker. Top noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all the ingredients are used.
• Cover, and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Cook sausage and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and salt.
• Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. (Refrigerate remaining mozzarella cheese while lasagna cooks.)
• Spoon one-fourth of the sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with 5 noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread with half of the cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with 5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining 5 noodles and remaining sausage mixture.
• Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender.
• Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into pieces.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the cheddar cheese powder, chili powder, onion powder, and salt until evenly combined.
• In a medium bowl, toss the warm lasagna noodles with the avocado oil and hot sauce until well coated. If any noodles stick together, separate them and make sure all sides are coated in oil.
• Preheat the air fryer to 390˚F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
• Layer three of the lasagna noodles to the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 minutes, tossing every 2-3 minutes and watching carefully to avoid burning, until the pasta is beginning to brown and crisp.
• Add the cooked pasta chips to the same medium bowl and tear into smaller pieces. Toss with half of the spice mixture. Repeat with the remaining lasagna noodles. Let the lasagna chips cool slightly before serving, about 5 minutes. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
• Serve the pasta chips with salsa for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, spinach, Parmesan, basil, garlic, oregano, onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker with olive oil. Ladle about 1 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker, and spread it evenly.
• Make two layers: Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, breaking the noodles to make a roughly even layer. (This doesn't need to be perfect; it's fine if the noodles overlap slightly, and if there are small spots the noodles don't cover.) Ladle about ¾ cup of sauce on top of the noodles and spread evenly. Evenly dollop about half of the ricotta mixture over the sauce, and use the back of a fork to press it into a roughly even layer. Sprinkle about a third of the shredded mozzarella over the ricotta. Repeat to make one more layer, using three noodles, the ¾ cup sauce, the remaining half of the ricotta mixture, then about half of the remaining mozzarella.
• To finish, lay down the remaining 3 lasagna noodles and spread with the remaining sauce. (Reserve the remaining mozzarella.) Cover and cook on low until the internal temperature in the center is at least 140 degrees and the noodles are tender, 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• Turn off the slow cooker and sprinkle the top of the lasagna with the remaining mozzarella. Remove the crock from the base that contains the heating element and let the lasagna rest with the lid on for 20 to 30 minutes, otherwise it will fall apart when you try to slice it. Sprinkle the top with more torn basil, to your taste. Cut the lasagna with a knife and scoop out servings with a spatula to serve.
