Meaty Crock Pot Lasagna

I made this for an office luncheon and it was a huge hit. The combination of meats and mushrooms make it a very hearty meal. The ease of the crock pot makes it super simple and quick to put together!

Excellent! I wanted something quick, but we get tired of one-pot skillet meals that have pasta and ground beef. This does NOT taste like one of them! Great flavor and so easy! I used extra-wide egg noodles. Put this (half recipe) in my teeny 3 qt. crockpot and cooked on high for 2 hours. Perfect! The two of us have had it for 3 meals!Reply

I love this recipe. It isn't quite the same as a traditional lasagna made in the oven, but when you need a fast alternative, you can't go wrong with this recipe. I made it for an office luncheon one day and everyone was surprised at how easy and delicious it was. Nothing says good recipe like bringing home an empty pan.1Reply

Was great to have lasagna in a crockpot. Cooked it on high for 2.5 hours and the noodles and all turned out fine. Would have been nice to have the crunch from baking, but I was going for quick, easy, and yummy. :) I used two pounds of ground meat (beef and turkey) instead of using sausage, but kept everything else as written in the recipe. Thanks for this great crockpot recipe!1Reply

I loved that I could make lasagna in the crockpot. I did not have sausage so I used all hamburger. I also did not add the mushrooms and used cottage cheese because that's what I had. The noodles were a little mushy but otherwise it was pretty good. I still prefer baked better, but this was definitely easier.1Reply

This was so cool making Lasagna in the crockpot. I was so easy to make. The hard part was getting it out of the pot to take a pic. Used cottage cheese because that is what I had. To the cottage cheese I added 1 egg, 1 tsp of oregano and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Tasted great and will make again.1Reply
