In a large skillet over medium heat, pan-fry the beef, onion, and garlic. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Once the meat is browned, drain any excess grease. Add one jar of sauce and oregano; stir. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix the cottage, ricotta, and parmesan cheeses. Add in the egg and stir to combine.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add a small layer of marinara sauce, followed by an even amount of noodles, and meat sauce. Follow those layers with a layer of cheese mixture, and then mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Put the lid on your slow cooker, and set the heat to LOW, and cook for 3-4 hours. Ours was done right at the 4-hour mark. Please check yours at the 3-hour mark because ALL slow cookers are different. Your lasagna will have a layer of crisp around the outside and feel soft and pudding-like if you stick a knife inside.

Due to slow cooker variations, I would check your lasagna at the 3-hour mark.
