Here is the recipe for Crock Pot/Ice Cream Bucket Lasagna that I downloaded
from I don't remember where awhile ago. This Linda is not me (Lynda in FL):
Linda's Ice Cream Bucket Lasagne
Recipe By :Linda Stolz
Serving Size : 8
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 pounds ground beef, lean
20 ozs - tomato sauce
- desired spices
2 qts cottage cheese
4 eggs
- salt and pepper
2 lbs - mozzarella (or more, depending on your
family's taste) -- shredded
2 packages lasagne noodles
6 ice cream buckets -- 1 gallon size
I cook a large package of hamburger (approx 5 lbs), drain. Place it
back in the pan I cooked it in, *(don't dirty another pan!!) and add
tomato sauce and spices as you like it.
Then in another large bowl, mix two large containers of cottage
cheese,four eggs, and salt and pepper.
A third bowl has a large quantity of shredded mozzarella.
Finally, I open two packages of lasagne noodles, either no-bake or
regular, doesn't matter. I prefer the regular, they are thicker..the no
bake kind of disappear in my lasagne because they are so thin.
Place all the ingredient bowls and pans in a row on the counter.
Then I take 6 (one gallon) ice cream buckets or similar container.
Layer as follows:
small amount of sauce (makes serving easier if there is a bit of sauce
in the bottom, so it doesn't stick) uncooked noodles sauce (it is
important that all of the uncooked noodles are covered in sauce)
cottage cheese, uncooked noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, noodles
sauce, mozzarella cheese to cover top (we love this quite thick)
That is it! You end up with six lasagnes, and only 3 dirty pans.
Freeze. Once solid, slip from the ice cream bucket, and place in
gallon Ziploc bags.
Now they go back in the freezer, taking up much less space.
I use the ice cream bucket because it makes it the exact correct size
and shape for my 5 quart crockpot. You may find another container that
works better for you. Just choose a container to assemble/freeze the food in
that is a little smaller than the pot/pan you plan to cook it in!
When its lasagne eating day, just pop it in the crockpot (or other pan, if
not using crockpot) on LOW, and let her go all day...come home, dinner is
ready!
NOTE: this is the original version of this recipe. Newer crockpots are
much hotter, so you might find it neccessary to cut the cooking time down
considerably.
