Slow-Cooker Lasagna

This lasagna looked just as good as the picture and what was even better was the taste and texture. Just perfect!

I was excited about this new slow cooker dish. My husband thought it would be soggy and he was kind of right. The pasta was very mushy. I even leaved it in for a little longer than required. I may try it one more time with 1/2 a cup less water. It is a lot of food to be wasted. Defiantly feeds more than eight servings.

this was great and easy I added more cheese and also sausage with the meat.

This was a keeper, but I made a few "improvements" and will make a few more now that I know. First of all, I used a 6-quart slow cooker, which was a little big for the recipe, but not by that much. I sauteed my ground beef with 1/2 onion, finely chopped, and a little minced garlic. I also added a little chopped rosemary and about 1/2 tsp. Creole Seasoning mix (such as Zatarain's or Tony Chachere's) along with the pasta sauce. To the cottage cheese mixture, I added 1/4 tsp. each black pepper and salt, along with some fresh minced basil. The result was delicious, but there was a lot of unabsorbed liquid, and I felt like the recipe needed a few more noodles. The next time I make this - and there will be a next time - I will use 9 lasagna noodles, keeping the bottom layer of sauce, and then making three layers of noodles (3 per layer, broken to fit), then cheese mixture, and then sauce. One more thing - I almost always substitute "Italian Blend" cheese for plain mozzarella cheese.

My family loved the recipe! My 3 year old liked it so much she cleaned her entire plate!! The flavor was great and the noodles came out perfect. I think I cooked it between 4-5 hours. I have already passed it along to several other people who are all eager to try it. It was even yummy reheated for left-over night.

This was fine, just a little bland. Next time I'll be adding peppers and mushrooms to the ground beef.

Loved this recipe...so simply and easy. It was perfect...I will be making it again.

I would love to try this! What size crock pot? This detail never seems to be available. Thanks

I used to make my lasagna in the oven-but will probably stick to this recipe now. It was very easy to make and tasted great! My husband made a comment that it seemed "lighter" to him then our usual lasagna. I have a large slow cooker so it was ready within the four hour time frame. It was great to be able to put it in the slow cooker and go about my day knowing I had a couple of hours to run errands, etc.. Definitely recommend and definitely will cook again!

Excellent, probably won't make traditional way anymore! very easy & delicious - noodles were perfect & it was neither too saucy or too dry. Used 93% lean beef, added fresh basil to the sauce, & 2T flour to ricotta mixture. Sprinkled top w/extra grated cheese
