Slow-Cooker Lasagna

I love when the new Kraft Canada "What's Cooking" comes in the mail.  Usually the Kraft recipes are quite simple and use normal ingredients.  That being said, this is one of my favorite Kraft Canada recipes.  I have adapted this recipe to my own liking.  I must admit that this lasagna doesn't actually look that great but it tastes great!

1 lb. ground beef
1 jar  (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
1 container  (15 oz.) Ricotta Cheese (I use cottage cheese and blend it up with the parmesan and egg, salt & pepper)
1 pkg. (7 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
egg
2 Tbsp.  chopped fresh parsleyFrozen spinach (defrosted & drained), divided
lasagna noodles, uncooked
BROWN meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and water. Mix ricotta, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella, 2 Tbsp. Parmesan, egg and parsley.
SPOON 1 cup meat sauce into slow cooker; top with layers of half each of the noodles (broken to fit) and cheese mixture. Place spinach over cheese layer to cover.  Cover with 2 cups meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles (broken to fit), cheese mixture and meat sauce. Cover with lid.
COOK on LOW 4 to 6 hours or until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; let stand, covered, 10 min. or until melted.
