When I discovered I could make lasagna in a slow cooker my whole world changed! You really can't mess this up - just throw whatever you want in here.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Turn you slow cooker on low to cook for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- In a large skilled, combine the meat with the salt and sauté over medium-high heat until browned, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
- Layer your lasagna ingredients in the slow cooker: one third of the tomato sauce, half of the cooked meat, half each of the veggies and then half of the noodles covering the top (break them if they're too big). Repeat with the remaining tomato sauce, meat, veggies, and noodles to make one more layer. Spread any leftover tomato sauce over top.
- Cover the cooker and cook, stirring occasionally*, on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Any leftover will keep well in the fridge up to 3 days.
Notes
Anthology Notes
My family isn't so keen on squash and zucchini so I often throw in diced carrots and celery or mushrooms.
We often grate parmesan, asiago or the garlic cashew parmesan on top.
*Turns out I only just noticed you're supposed to stir, which I NEVER have done and it turns out just great :)
