Making lasagna has never been one of my favorite things to do. It’s always been too messy and time-consuming for me to make during the week….until now. Let me introduce you to Crockpot Lasagna.
This crockpot lasagna is fast and easy to put together the night before or in the morning (which is what I did) before heading out the door to work. Served with garlic bread and a salad and you have yourself a nice, satisfying dinner the whole family will enjoy.
Tip: Cook the sauce mixture ahead of time to save valuable minutes in the morning. I chose to cook the sauce in the crockpot overnight and it worked out amazing.

Easily Adapt Recipe
Based on your family’s preferences, you may want to adapt the recipe. Here are a few suggestions:
Instead of mild Italian sausage, you can add spicy Italian sausage or ground beef.
Add more or less cheese depending on your personal preference. I personally cannot have enough melted cheese, as you can see from the pictures:-)
Substitute your favorite spaghetti sauce in place of the Prego traditional sauce.
Saute fresh vegetables such as green peppers and onions with your meat.
I’d love to hear if you made any changes to the recipe. Please email me and let me know what you think.
