Ingredients

2 pounds ground chicken
2 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup water
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the celery, green pepper and onion; cook and stir 5 minutes longer or until tender. Stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste, Cajun seasoning and sugar. In a small bowl, combine cheeses.
Spread 1 cup meat sauce in a greased oval 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Layer with 3 noodles (breaking noodles if necessary to fit), a third of the remaining meat sauce and a third of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until noodles are tender. Yield: 8 servings.
