Spray the crock pot bottom and sides with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
Brown ground beef and Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Discard grease. Add Italian seasoning and onions; cook until onions are soft; stir in the spaghetti sauce with 1/2 c. water. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, in a bowl, stir together the egg, the Ricotta and Parmesan cheeses and 1 c. Mozzarella cheese.
Scoop about 1 c. spaghetti sauce onto the bottom of the prepared crock pot; top with 3 raw noodles, breaking some noodles to fit, if necessary. Evenly spread about 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat with 2 more layers, or until all ingredients are used. Add 1/2 c. water around the sides. Sprinkle the remaining cup of Mozzarella cheese on top.
Cook on Low for 4-5 hours, or until the noodles are tender.
Serve, topped with fresh basil, if desired.
