Recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Lasagna Casserole

This recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Lasagna Casserole is so super simple that you’ll probably never make actual lasagna again.  With all those layers and all those dirty dishes, it just isn’t worth it (most of the time).  I love that the noodles do not need to be boiled before adding them to the slow cooker.  The hardest part of this is browning the sausage (and if you’re smart you’ll have this already browned and ready to go in the freezer).  This is also a great recipe to add in your favorite veggies, like spinach and mushrooms or peppers and sauteed onions…whatever you like!

    Is there a “Print” button for this recipe, Karen? This sounds too good (and simple) to be true. I’m very interested in trying it. I am low-carb (mostly gluten-free), but am always on the look-out for recipes that can be made for private-school lunches. Ideally, they need to be: simple, as some families don’t have a broad palate-range; economical: these meals are coming from mine and a friends’ budget and are a labor of love for the teachers, as much as for the students; convenient: transported to the school, where they will be cooked in the oven or a crockpot. Thanks for your contribution to our growing collection. Any suggested recipes will be greatly appreciated! 🙂

    Just double checking before I make this one in a few days – you are NOT layering this, just mixing it all in the slow cooker and stirring?

      You're right. It's not layered. Enjoy!

    You seem to have dark counter tops, the cream color of the proposed paint is nice, but have you thought about a real POP of color with some high almost mettalic red?

    Bottom right. (Second choice would be bottom left but I feel like finger prints would show up more easily.) PS, white-ish cabinets are my favorite! Good choice!

    Jamie G,
    Yes, that's why I use them! Whole wheat hold up much better than white!

    I like the bottom left cabinets, but I'm not really into the rustic style.

    Bottom left 😉

    Do the whole wheat noodles hold up better than regular lasagna noodles? It seems like whenever I do pasta in the crock pot it breaks down weird.
