My family loves Crock Pot Lasagna! It’s so easy to do the day before (especially for Sunday lunch) and is always a crowd pleaser.
Crock Pot Lasagna
Ingredients:
2 boxes lasagna noodles (broken into smaller pieces)
2 boxes lasagna noodles (broken into smaller pieces)
1 24 oz. container ricotta or cottage cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic, minced
2 pounds ground beef (or ground turkey)
2 26 oz. jars spaghetti sauce (or make your own)
4 cups Italian 3-cheese blend, shredded (or mozzarella, I have also used sliced cheese)
Directions:
- Stir together ricotta cheese, eggs and garlic.
- Cook ground beef in large skillet then drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Feel free to add whatever seasonings you enjoy. I’ll use diced tomatoes, onions and mushrooms, too, if I have them.
- Layer lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, shredded cheese, and beef mixture in a greased crockpot, ending with the beef.
I make this the night before, refrigerate and do NOT cook the lasagna noodles. The sauce will help soften the noodles.
This recipe is completely up to interpretation! Make sure and use plenty of sauce (the liquid) so that it doesn’t dry out. This also makes a ton so you can adjust the recipe accordingly. I start my crock pot on high to get it warmed up then leave it on low for about 3-4 hours while we’re at church.

Welcome! What started out as a little family journal in 2008 has turned into a passion for sharing my life, faith, adventures and dreams as a DIY, crafty, bargain hunting, homeschooling, memory keeping mom of both biological and adopted children. Make yourself at home! 
Looks delicious and fabulous that you don’t have to cook the noodles.
Just make sure you have plenty of liquid because it absorbs into the noodles. Thanks for visiting!
