For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the meat sauce.
If you prefer a smoother cheese layer, blend the ricotta cheese in a food processor before mixing with the other cheeses.
To prevent the noodles from sticking, make sure there is enough sauce in each layer.
This lasagna can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time if cooking from cold.
Feel free to add vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini to the meat sauce for added nutrition and flavor.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to throw together in the morning and come home to a delicious dinner.

  • Blair Hartmann

    I was skeptical about cooking lasagna in a slow cooker, but this recipe proved me wrong. It turned out perfectly!

  • Warren Batz

    I substituted the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese and it worked great!

  • Edna Connelly

    The noodles were a little mushy, but I think that was my fault for overcooking it. Next time, I'll check it sooner.

  • Bradly Bergstrom

    My family loved this lasagna! I added some Italian seasoning to the meat sauce and it was a hit.
