Slow Cooker Spinach Lasagna

Just made this last night and it was DELISH! I should have taken a picture. The only thing is, it's hard to get out of the slow cooker without it looking like a total mess. That doesn't matter though but don't make it if you're looking for something pretty to eat.

Ingredients

* 1 lb ground beef or turkey, browned and drained
* 8 lasagna noodles, uncooked
* 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, any flavor (Prego is my fav)
* 1 teaspoon oregano or italian seasoning
* 1/3 cup water (I just pour a little water into the sauce jar and swish it around and then add it)
* 10 oz package chopped frozen spinach, microwaved and then squeezed very dry
* 15 ounces ricotta cheese
* 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

1.Break 4 noodles into pieces and place in bottom of greased crock pot.
2.Stir Italian seasoning into browned meat add spaghetti sauce and water. Layer half the tomato sauce/meat mixture on top of the noodles in the crockpot.
3. Combine spinach with ricotta cheese. Spoon all of this mixture on top of meat mixture in crock pot. Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Add the remaining 4 noodles to the crockpot, then layer with remaining sauce and then finally the remaining mozzarella cheese.
5. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
