Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the Italian sausage and ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Transfer the cooked meat to the basin of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir again.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, increase the heat setting to HIGH if it was on LOW.
  8. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and parsley until smooth.
  9. Stir the broken lasagna noodles into the soup. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  10. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the mozzarella cheese until it melts into the soup, creating creamy pockets.
  11. Serve the soup hot, topping each bowl with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For an even easier cleanup, line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner before starting.
  • If you prefer a different meat, substitute ground turkey or omit the ground beef entirely.
  • Serve this hearty soup with warm garlic bread for dipping.
