1. In a skillet, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. Transfer the cooked ground beef to the slow cooker.
3. Add diced onion, diced red bell pepper, petite diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to the slow cooker with the ground beef. Mix well.
4. Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the noodles are tender.
6. Once cook time is up, break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for another 30 mins or until noodles are cooked through.
Before serving, ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and shredded parmesan cheese. (You can optionally put this in the slow cooker directly if you are serving from there.)
