Winter Lasagna Rolls - Crock Pot

Alright so this is lasagna without any of the normal lasagna ingredients - weird I know. But who honestly has all those ingredients or all that time sitting around to make actual lasagna. This was a delicious creation rolled up in a lasagna noodle. 

Another Crock-Pot success!!!

Time to prep: 40 min
Time to cook: 1.5 hours in a crock pot
Servings: 2 (5 rolls)


Ingredients:


  • 5 lasagna noodles
  • 2 turkey burgers
  • 1/2 bag of frozen sliced spinach (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup of diced onions
  • 2 ounces of fat free cream cheese
  • 4 slices of pre-packaged american cheese slices
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic in olive oil
  • 1/2 jar 6 cheese marinara sauce
  • **1 serving cup of Barbarito's Green Verde Salsa**
  • 1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp of water
  • Italian Seasonings, Sea Salt, and Black Peppercorn



















Instructions:
  1. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the lasagna noodles, and make sure not to break them
  2. While waiting for the noodles to cook, in medium sized frying pan cook 2 turkey burgers with a 1/2 tbsp of olive oil
  3. After about 6 minutes with two forks shred the turkey burgers
  4. Then add the garlic, onions, spinach and cream cheese and cook until the cream cheese is completely melted into the meat mixture
    This is after I started adding it to the noodles
  5. Set the meat mixture aside, until the noodles are cooked al dente
  6. Drain the noodles and lay them out long ways
  7. Break each slice of american cheese, and lay about 3 of these thin slices along each noodle
  8. Spoon the meat mixture along the noodle, over top the cheese
  9. This is what it should look like before you roll it
  10. Using your fingers roll from one end to the other (I made it about 3 times around)
  11. Place each roll in the crock pot (I managed to fit 4 rolls in mine with a 5th roll sitting on top in the center)


  12. Pour the marinara sauce across the rolls (add the verde sauce if you have it)
    ***Make sure to add a small amount of water- approx 2-3 tbsp- to help prevent the rolls from cooking to the bottom of the pot***
  13. Then sprinkle the feta cheese/ seasonings/ salt/ pepper over the rolls 
  14. Cook in crock-pot for 1.5 hours
  15. Serve and Enjoy!!!
