EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Love your lasagna thick and meaty? For thick pieces of lasagna, use a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. A larger slow cooker will also work, but your lasagna pieces will be a bit thinner.

Caesar salad and Italian bread make nice accompaniments to this delicious lasagna.

I would recommend that using the 4 hour setting is best, that way it is not to brown on the bottom. While you melting the top layer of cheese, it will still be hot enough to continue cooking. This was a wonderful meal and will serve more then 6. It is very rich. A winner in our house.

This recipe did not go over too well with my family. The noodles were done well but the pieces did not hold together well like when it is baked in a pan. Everyone seemed to enjoy it warmed up the next day better than on the first day. I think I will try it again, but in a square slow cooker instead of a round one and maybe adjust the cooking time.
