I am a huge South Beach fan. I have tried hundreds of recipes and hope to share a few of them with you. Here's one of my favorite Phase 1 Recipes:

Crock-Pot Lasagna

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups sugar free spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups fat-free cottage cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese divided in half
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Brown ground beef with onion in a nonstick skillet.

Add spaghetti sauce and mix with meat and onion.

Pour half of meat mixture into slow cooker sprayed with nonfat cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, egg, and the Italian seasoning. Beat well with a fork.

Spread half of the cheese mixture over the meat mixture.

Sprinkle 3/4 cup of mozzarella over cheese mixture.

Repeat layers.

Cover. Cook on low 4 - 4 1/2 Hours.

If you have a really big crock-pot or big family or both, you may want to double this recipe.

thanks mcbean, I tried this recipe the other night. It was really tasty. I substitutes the ground beef with lean ground turkey to make it as healthy as possible. The dish turned more into stew than lasagna in my crockpot, but it was still delicious.

Never tried something as good as this. I owe you one

I had never thought of making a lasagna without the pasta, so thanks for sharing this!

I like the South Beach Diet as well, but it can be a challenge for people who love rice, potatoes, and pasta.
