Crock pot lasagna

this is sctaylor's recipe from the love to cook team. Hope you don't mind me plugging it in, sc. 8 servings is exactly right for this recipe. We have a 6.5 quart round crockpot, so cut it pie-shaped. I agree with the person who said the added salt was unnecessary, so I'm removing it. It is very good without it. Using no-salt added tomato products, I hope, will cut the sodium even more - I'll amend again next time I try it!Submitted by: LEAKAY59

I would of course prefer flour pasta but this makes a very good lasagna. The italian sausage was a very good touch over the normal hamburger meat. I will make it again. - 1/29/09

Oh. WOW. Did I say WOW??? Hands down, the best lasagna I have had in YEARS. Cooked perfectly crispy on the edges, ooey and gooey in the middle with generous meat throughout, flavor was outstanding and family loved it as well. A WINNER!!!!! Making this again and again and again. - 1/13/09
