This is a great recipe. The only reason it got four stars instead of five is because I would give a from scratch regular lasagna recipe that I really liked a five, and this was a quick and easy crockpot type. I might use a tiny bit more sauce next time and perhaps a bit of salt in the ricotta, it needed a little salt we thought-----also please be very careful if you follow the review that said I cooked it on high for four hours because I nearly fried this great dish!! It was done in three hours in my crockpot.....Thanks for the recipe--Peggy Lynn

We really liked it!! We do feel it needed salt and a little more spice. Next time I'm going to season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic, some pepper flakes and an Italian blend. One thing that may be unclear reading the directions, put 2 layers of lasagna noodles on each layer. I put the layers north/south and then east/west, if that makes sense, and it worked great.

Excellent! I must admit I had misgivings about making lasagna in a crockpot. My substitutions were: no mushrooms, white wine instead of the water and low fat quark (not sure if you get it in the U.S.) instead of the ricotta - delicious! I also cooked it for 4 hours on low not 5 and the noodles were perfect. Thank you very much for posting!
