Slow Cooker Eggplant Lasagna




This is such a quick, easy, healthy meal to make for the whole family to enjoy!  The eggplant acts like the noodles and can't even tell it's eggplant.  Winner!

Ingredients:




1 large eggplant, sliced thin
6 cups pasta sauce (no sugar, low salt)
2 cups Greek yogurt
2 cups reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup reduced fat shredded parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried oregano
8 fresh basil leaves - chopped (optional for topping)

Directions:
1.  Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
2.  Pour 2 cups of sauce evenly with the bottom of crock.
3.  Place a layer of eggplant slice atop sauce.
4.  Mix Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan, & oregano.  Layer the mixture atop eggplant slices.
5.  Repeat layering sauce, eggplant, yogurt.
 **Make sure you reserve some sauce for the top layer**
6.  Sprinkle remaining cup of mozzarella evenly across the entire dish.  Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy!




**You can add meat to this if you'd like.  I have tried it with ground turkey.  I just fried it up ahead of time, and added it to the greek yogurt mixture.  Tasted delicious!
