Top with 5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and one-fourth of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining 5 noodles and remaining sausage mixture.
4 Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender.
5 Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into pieces.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Something as simple as chopped fresh parsley will dress up this lasagna. Sprinkle on the parsley just before serving.

For lasagna with a kick, look for hot or spicy Italian sausage. Links can be used if bulk sausage isn't available. Just squeeze the meat out of the casings and cook as directed.

I love Lasagna and the idea of cooking it in a slow cooker sounds really simple. I'm going to attempt this. Of course, I bought the small crockpot slow cooker that is only 1-2 serving capacity so I'm going to have to do some calculations and divide the recipe by about 1/4. My question is, does that mean the time that it has to be cooked should be cooked down or does it really have to be cooked in 6 hours in mentioned setting? I'm a bachelor so I'd like to get some input from the mothers and chefs in here so I won't come out ruining my dish.

Would have been much better cooked on low 8-10 hrs. The edges turned black before the middle was cooked through. Also saw another recipe that called for adding an extra cup of water. This would have also helped prevent the burning. Made with ground turkey...WAY too bland. Do turkey sausage at the very least. Will try again but with some changes. My boys still devoured it.
