A few months ago, I shared with you my favorite recipe for lasagna. While that is a great and easy recipe, I have an even easier recipe to share with you today! Have you ever made lasagna in your slow cooker? I haven’t until recently, but it is easy and delicious!

After 3 hours, noodles should be soft (make sure to check the edges)

Uncover and cook on high for 30-45 minutes-or until you see that the lasagna has firmed up a bit (no water sitting on top)
-
Add shredded cheese to top of lasagna
-
Cover and change setting to 'keep warm'-allow cheese to melt
-
Cool and serve
This looks great, simple but lasagna is great for our cold winters here. We just got a bigger slow cooker to do exactly this type of stuff!
For sure! It’s one of my favorite dishes in the winter!
Interesting! I’ve never seen a lasagna made with cottage cheese. Is there a reason you chose that over ricotta? Does it taste similar?
It does! My mom makes it that way so I have always made it that way 🙂 Either cheese works great!
Never done lasagna in a slow cooker. Looks like I’ll have to try this on a day I’m not working.
Too cool, I’ve never thought to cook lasagna in the slow cooker! This is definitely a recipe to add to my list!
I love lasagna but have never tried it in the slow cooker! What a great idea!!
I love how easy it was!
I love a good crock pot meal. I haven’t made lasagna is so long and have had in on my mind the past few days. I guess this post is a sign that I need to make it and use this recipe :)!!
Absolutely! Let me know how you like it.
That looks delicious and so warm and filling for the colder weather!
