It was okay, but by no means worth all that work, and I would have taken a store bought lasagna over what I had just slaved over any given day. I didn’t have time for meals like that. I was a busy college student…I had boys to date, parties to attend, and reality TV to watch.
When I came across a recipe for Crockpot Lasagna, I was intrigued. What a genius idea if this version truly was any less work than the traditional version. I was skeptical to say the least for the work that it was going to involve and had even lower expectations for what the taste would be.
The preparation was quick and seemed way too easy compared to what I was used to. As we sat down for dinner, I warned my family that this was an experiment and I had no idea how it would taste. I was pleasantly surprised, and swore this would be the only way we were doing lasagna in my house from now on.
This is perfect for company when you don't want to spend all day in the kitchen.
So glad you posted this! I got this recipe a few weeks ago and it has been a staple in our house ever since. The fam LOVES lasagne, but with 5 kids in multiple sports mama BARELY has time to cook! I've been meaning to send it to you, glad you found it!
I love crockpot ANYTHING. This looks great!! THX!
This looks great! I've seen recipes for it, but haven't tried it... YET! This looks so good I'm going to go print the recipe right now. Thanks!
Yum! Can you leave it longer on low, for 8-10 hrs? I work full-time and this would be perfect to make for those days.
I love crockpot anything! Great recipe.
that does look easy! i hate when i spend a lot of time cooking and cleaning something that produces mediocre results
I really like the sound of this. Will try it soon. Thanks for sharing!

I am anxious to try this one. I have another crock lasagna recipe, but it is a ton of prep work....I always feel like I should have just made it the original way.
Thanks for this one that sounds much easier.
Would love to share this on my site www.canigettherecipe.com Please let me know at carisnell(at)shaw(dot)ca if you are keen!
Why would you waste all that good cocaine on your lasagna
@Diapers.Deadlines.DIY,
I think the longest you should cook it is around 6 hours otherwise it's going to get soggy. I haven't tried it though so maybe it would work. Also, every slow cooker is different. Mine cooks on the fast side so yours might be fine!

I was skeptical the first time I tried making lasagna in the crockpot but it worked out wonderfully. I even tried a Buffalo Chicken Lasagna recipe in the crockpot and it was fantastic and is a regular around here!
Here is the link to that recipe:

Wow! It looks so nice and layered too! I will have to try this soon!
@Heather,
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna...sounds incredible. Thanks for sharing - I have it bookmarked!

Looking at this photo, I would never guess it was made in a crockpot. Heading over to see the recipe right this minute!
That's amazing for a slow cooker!! I would've expected it to be far mushier. :)
What a great idea!! Looks like a great lasagna recipe. I am going to have to try this one this weekend.
I am going to cook it for the family. Thanks
I made a slightly lightened-up version of this (low-fat cheese, whole wheat noodles & ground turkey) and it was DELISH! Thanks for the inspiration- gave you a shout out on my blog :)
Do you beat the egg first before adding it to the ricotta mixture???
@Rena,
It's not necessary to beat the egg first. But I'm lazy! It wouldn't hurt to give it a little whisk but it's not required if you stir the ricotta mixture thoroughly.
This recipe was great. The sauce was very yummy and there was a lot of it. I just found that there wasn't enough lasagna noodles. It was a hit at our table tonight!
This was fabulous. The cook time was spot on. But...it sure didn't look as pretty as the piece in the picture! I don't know how to fit rectangle shaped noodles into a round crock pot and still make it look this good.
