Slow Cooker ..... Lasagna. Yup that is right LASAGNA

Who doesnt like lasagna? I know I do! And who doesnt like prepping something in the morning or night before and having it ready when it is time to eat. Thats right I do again lol!! And hopefully you do too! Because todays recipe is a crock pot/slow cooker recipe and the next couple to come will be also. These are great for moms or people that work or both. I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker website.

Slow Cooker Lasagna


Ingredients:

1pound bulk Italian sausage
1medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3cans (15 ounces each) Italian-style tomato sauce( I used one jar of 6 cheese Ragu)
2teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2teaspoon salt
2cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
1container (15 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese
1cup grated Parmesan cheese
15uncooked lasagna noodles
((
Directions:


1.Cook sausage and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, basil and salt.


2.Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. (Refrigerate remaining mozzarella cheese while lasagna cooks.)


3.Spoon one-fourth of the sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with 5 noodles, broken into pieces to fit. Spread with half of the cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with 5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining 5 
noodles and remaining sausage mixture.


4.Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender.


Rating-5 out of 5
Look- Deliciously cheesy
Difficulty- This takes alittle time to prep but just basic cuting involved
Review- This was amazing. And it was a ton of food there was about half left over after my family of 5 had atleast one if not two decent sized servings. It was nice to just set it and forget it and there was a ton of great flavor.








This is definitely a recipe I will make again and again. Maybe not in the coming months with the warm weather approaching but next winter this will be on our menu as a regular. It was so good that I got the kids there food and got them sitting and eating like I normally do and by the time I dished mine and got to the table Maddie was completely done and asked for seconds.
