Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
8 baking potatoes
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
2 cup shredded old cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 onions
1 tbsp butter
2 cups low fat ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp onion salt
1 lb bacon

Steps

Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 20 minutes, then drain and mash with the milk and one-quarter cup butter.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, crumble it, and reserve the drippings.
Cook the onions in the drippings over medium heat for 8 minutes, then stir in the ricotta, onion salt, salt, and pepper.
Spread one-third of the potato mixture in a greased slow cooker, then layer with noodles, ricotta mixture, onions, bacon, and cheddar.
Repeat the layers, finishing with cheddar, and pour one-half cup water around the edges.
Cover and cook on high for 90 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the casserole reaches 165 F.
